Another from my session with this bird at Ridgefield NWR on the 11th. A more classical pose this time.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Nice pose and setting. Exposure is spot-on.

Like the combination of the dead grass and the whites of the bird Dennis. Maybe a tiny bit more below and tiny bit off the top??

Nice pose including that lovely plume. The eye shows very well and I like the dof you chose. Sharon

Excellent exposure and sharp, well composed Dennis.
Great classic pose as you say, and the browns of this setting contrast nicely

cool pose and a neat setting, Dennis. personally I could go for a bit more room in front of the bird.

You handled the whites very well Dennis. Nice muted background really compliments the Egret, well done.
