Beautiful bird. So white and perfect. Great pose and details, Radz!

super clichet !
le blanc est d'une rare pureté et contraste parfaitement avec le fond sombre.
les details sont la.
merci.

Beautifully sharp and clean capture, great POV. Did you use any exposure compensation for this? Generally, it may be a good idea to stop down to -1/3 for a shot of a white bird against water, as this will give you more details in the whites.

Excellent shot Radz of this magnificent Egret. She's posing well for you. I don't mind the branch at the top - it fits in perfectly. Well done.

I like this a lot Radz.
Great details, very good exposure and pose.
Excellent work.

This image is a winner. you captured the whites without over exposure. The green background is perfect. Well done on this capture.
The branch in my opinion has an effect of crowding/pushing the head down.

Fantastic photo Radz,
I like the shot, great pof and dof, very good colours, I like the angle you took the shot, great job

Very attractive photo, Radz. Combination of nearly just two colors is very good, and the egret pose is well expressed by your good POV. Whites lack of a bit of detail at the top, but all together, it's a beautiful composition.

Excellent work on this difficult task Radz. Very clever handling of the light and dof. The composition is perfect and the bird really looks great.

This is a real beauty. The whites are brilliant and the sharpness excellent.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Now this is really good. You have captured the plumage very well, so easy to burn out parts in a white-plumaged bird. Composition is also very good.

Ah, I get a chance to comment on this one too. This look like a little egret, Egretta Garzetta, that has yellow feet. How big is yours, as the little egret is only about 65 cm compared to about 1m in the larger, white ones.
I like his pose, the BG works well and the whites are mostly all correctly exposed.

This is one subject that I still have problems with and you handled it perfectly. I still overexpose most of my white subjects. Nice compo, shapness and pose. No nit's just a great shot!

Radz, beautiful, very beautiful. Vivid colors and perfect sharpness. Great POV and DOF.

Lívio

Very good focus and white control. Nice and clear, it is just a pity that the branch in the foreground does not let us to see the feet. Thanks for posting.

Superb capture Radz. Your handling of the whites is just perfect (which is not an easy thing). Very good background and composition. Well done.

Hello Radz,
Browsing through your earlier masterpieces I stopped at this one - a real work of art! I love the colours and the pattern of the branches and the heron looks fantastic against the beautifully coloured background. All in focus, razor sharp and a superb composition.
Many thanks, Ulla
