I was just leaving Four Mile River in Ct, when this Snowy Egret handed in the grass. The shot was taken hand held and I made some cropping, exposure and clarity adjustment in Lightroom.

5 commentsSweet image, Peter. I like the pose and the grasses. The dof is just perfect and the patch of lighter colored in-focus grass helps lead the eye to the egret. My only nit is the blob of light colored oof vegetation in the upper right that tends to draw my eye. I don't know if Lightroom has decent repair tools or not as I do that kind of thing in Photoshop, but if it does, you might consider removing it. Nice details in the whites as well.
good subject placement, exposure is dead on. sharp. I agree with Dennis about the beownish OOF grasses. PS would get rid of this easily. nice job.
Great basic egret shot Peter. Nicely handled whites and greens.
Very nice Peter.. I like the bands of light to dark grasses, great exposure & detail.
I would remove the small light brown cluster out in front if it was mine, easy to do.
Well done & have a great weekend!
Hi
Thanks for the comments, I have removed the light colored vegetation and you are right, It does look better.
