Snowy Egret

From mid-morning yesterday, this is likely one of the residents here in Gulfport. Recently there have been around a dozen Snowies browsing in the shallows and tide pools, and this one was finding little crabs for brunch. I tend to avoid sunny morning shoots there because the only option is looking eastward. Fortunately the soft light and calm afforded good shooting conditions, and the water was clear enough to show the sandbar just under the surface. Normally I would go for negative exposure on a white subject, but +1/3EV still allowed decent detail in the whites. Full width cropped to about 85% of original for 4:3 aspect.

7D2, 100 F/4 DO +1.4X, Wimberley I, ISO 400 1/2000 6.3 +1/3EV
