Sionnet, Swirzerland

D4S 300mm f2.8 G ED VR2 with 2TC series 3 attached
ISO 1600 1/5000 s at f /7.1 Centre weighted EV 0.00 WB Auto Hand held
RAW file original 100% DX format
Photoshop CS6

The prevailing meteo. conditions were dull and overcast with light fog. In this pic. I seek to convey impressions of the damp, less than glamorous habitat of this imposing Great White Egret. The camera settings were somewhat whacky and I don’t offer any excuses this time. I’m not sure how I arrived at 1/5000 s.

Your crits. and nits are most welcome

Nicely composed habitat shot David. The atmospherics actually worked well here, the feathering is exposed beautifully. :toast:
