The Lady and the Egret

This is from a frame or two later than my last post.  I considered the input to blur the woman more, but to me this image, while obviously focused on the bird, is also very much about the relationship of the bird to people, so I chose to leave her as-photographed.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, f/8, 1/2500, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 14.5 MP before resizing.  Taken at 10:09 AM on March 28th.

Your comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Thanks,

Understandable Dennis. This little egret is fearless.

A photo of a bird more habituated to people than the person is to birds. Nicely done.
