Hello Everyone,
This my 4th Great White Egret photo on Banyan Tree taken in Naples,FL and also my 100th post here on TN!
(It was 100 last Sept but because some nasty comments had to delete 125 photos and started all over)
I think this is one of my Best Egret shot ever:)
I hope you like this version :)
Cheers and Have a Great Week,
Chris

Great White Egret "Casmerodius albus"

The great white egret is a graceful, large, and slender bird. The great white egret is also called the white, egret, great egret, the common egret, and the American egret. The loss of habitat and pollution is causing the egret's population to decrease.
Description:
The egret has an amazing layer of soft feathery feathers during the breeding time. The bird is thirty-five to forty-one inches (eighty-nine to one hundred four centimeters). The American egret has a fifty-five inch (one hundred forty centimeters) wingspan. The bird is only white except for its yellow bill. Its bill is also large. A great white egret is a little smaller than the great blue heron.

Hi Chris,
congrats for your 100th post. It's a big different from your first posts, you have grown as a photographer.
This is very nice with good POV and pose. The expoure is good too, not easy with a white bird against a dark BG.
The details and compostion are also good.
Great work, my friend and keep on like this.

Good exposure and detail, like the overall comp too, well taken.

Greg

Hi Cris
You say you think it is your "best egret shot ever", and viewing your portfolio I have to agree with you. Comparing this with your second posting on TN the "Great White Egret" (2005/08/10) I can see that you have shown excellent growth as a photographer. About this one I can honestly say that it is a sure WOW and with that a great big CONGRATULATION even if it is your second time around the 100th mark. I don't know any of the detail concerning the 125 lost photos, but I would like to give you a second CONGRATULATION for many people would probably have packed up and threw all their toys out of the cot, but you bit the bullet and persisted with TN and sharing your lovely photos with us. Thank you very much my friend for showing such a great spirit.
The vertical composition is perfect for this bird and the cropping was well executed. The photo shows excellent colours, the details are stunning and the aperture was well selected for this capture, the darkish OOF BG does well to enhance and compliment the bird, and the exposure was perfectly handled at 1/1000 showing marvellous contrasts on the white feathers.
Very good work done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Chris
Happy 100 :)
This is a gorgeous shot. The dark background really accentuates the Egret. Composition and balance is great.

Great white egret and great photography. I like the vertical framing and the dark blurred background. Exposition and DOF are perfect.

Hi Chris, I'm with you! This is your best egret! The DOF is amazing. White is perfect balanced, compo is great and the focus on the eye truly nice.

Hi Chris.
Great and very nice egrett photo, excellent pose,point of view, colors ,contrast,details and composition.
Congratulations 100th Post.

Saludos....RICARDO.

a living sculpture..the textures and just 'in' exposure on the lighter parts wins out...

go for the highlights and let the shadows take care of themselves..the motto of the transparency photographer.

cheers

Hello, Chris.

My congratulations on this significant event in your biography as a photographer. And this picture is the convincing proof that have achieved greater successes in this field.

This picture corresponds to your anniversary very much. The shot is very strict on a composition, is constrained on paints. Forms are perfected. Light and shadows are noble. The picture exhales wisdom and nobleness, calmness and confidence.

With wishes of the further creative successes,
Alexei.

Merhaba Chris. Gercekten cok guzel bir fotograf ve guzel bir an.
eline ve gozune saglik.

hello chris
