[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a small white heron with attractive white plumes on crest, back and chest, black legs and bill and yellow feet. Little egrets are wetlands birds with a preference for lowland shallow waters, especially along coasts and estuaries. they nest communally, often alongside the nests of other herons and associated wetland species. Colonies are located in reedbeds, wetland scrub and in trees near water, up to a height of 20 m.
I saw this egret in Albufera, Mallorca (Spain)

Zeno,

I love the water bird like Herons, Storks and Egrets. It is not always easy to get a well exposed pic of the Egrets as they are totally white. Your Compostion, POV, Lighting and sharpness are all great. TFS,
Sheriff

Hoi Zeno.
Mooie foto, het wit steekt mooi af tegen de grijze wat sombere achtergrond waardoor de foto een mooie sfeer uitstraalt.

Hi Zeno,
this is a good picture of the egret. Well composed, nice colours and good details. You handle the white good too.
I was visiting Mallorca at the same time as you and I had plans to visit Albufera too but had no time and I regret it now.
Very well done.

Hello Zeno,
Perfectly exposed and excellent sharpness.
DOF, pose, and the bit of reflection seen are great here. Perhaps a tiny bit less space top.
Very nice, Thank You!

Hi Zeno,
Beautiful shot, excellent detail, perfect DOF and very natural colours. Great exposure when considering the bright whites and everything else is dark. Great work.
Cheers,
