I found this one Snowy browsing on the beach in Gulfport a few weeks ago in marginally cloudy morning conditions. Not critically sharp, but I liked the pose and soft lighting.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 +EC-20 Wimberley I on GT2531, ISO 400 1/2000 f5.7 0.0EV

Maybe it is a tiny bit OOF but, like you, I really like the pose, the soft light and the head position is very good. Nice capture.

Interesting pose, nice soft light & understated colors Bill.
Great tonal range in those whites too..
I think the details look fine, well composed :toast:

It is a sweet pose and nice light, Bill. In this case the slight softness of the bird works well with the light and bg.

Pleasant and calm image. Pose adds a lot to a mere standing egret shot ! Well done, Hans
