Nice couple of shots, excellent exposure on the whites. Lovely calm water too.

I prefer the 2nd one Stan, the first looks a bit bleached out on my monitor.

Nice work Stan, prefer the first with the water droplets from the bill.

Two super shots.

Re: Little Egret Reflection

thanks for looking guys

the first looks a bit bleached out on my monitor.

always difficult to get detail in the feathers of little egrets even when the whites are nowhere near blown. The two images although shot at the same time were processed a day apart and i did not reference one against the other the processing would account for the difference

a bit dull is always better for white birds

Just found out the first shot is picture of the week in the local paper - no accounting for taste

Re: Little Egret Reflection

Two great shots Stan, love the droplet of water on the first. Pity there was a ripple on the water it would have been a perfect reflection

at the location lucky to get the water as calm as it was as there is always some wind.

Just seen the published picture, was surprised to see it takes over half the page and looks better than i had expected when printed on newsprint
