Great Egret

Morning light peeking thru a cloud layer offered me an opportunity to shoot this Egret from a platform at a nearby refuge.

Shot in 1.2x crop with an effective focal length of 840mm cropped from 25.1mp to 8.5mp.
Usual post in LR5 and CS6 with minor highlight adjustment with a TK Luminosity mask.

Great egret is one of favourites and it is nice to see the bird is in hunting action
