Assalamualaikum Redzlan,
I knew you'll bring this one out of your shoebox. So this is called Little Egret - well I thought it is a heron. Beautiful details of this white bird considering it was captured against an open sky. Well managed light and depth to share with us this Little Egret in this interesting pose. I like it Redzlan, well done!
Wassallam,
Jusni

Hi Redzlan,

This is a great shot, and you have done so well to get the exposure right - it would have been so easy to underexpose the bird and lose detail. You have done neither; presenting a beautifully detailed bird. The composition also stands out. Excellent.
