Hi There,
Its noce just not quite white enough for me - i added a mod where I just tried make the egret whiter and desaturated the image a bit to stop the background colours detracting from the bird. I also added a very soft blur vignette to the edges to again draw attention to the bird.
Cheers
Stuart

Great shot Malcolm. I've been trying to shoot some locally but they are very flighty. Unfortunately I only have a 300m lens so need to use a fair bit of stealth to get close enough. Well done!
You did well to capture the egret with something in its beak.
I think it's a good image to start with, Malcolm, and that Stuart's modification has shown you a few improvements, but apart from that I think it's ok. We can't always choose our backgrounds, so have to make the best of what we have got.
I think you should be happy with this one.

I like this shot, it is a good photograph of a beautiful bird. It is tricky to obtain feather detail with white birds. The bird is side on, the focus is good, the eye is bright. I also like that you've captured it doing something (albeit with a fairly inconspicuous piece of food). I would begin to improve on a shot like this by watching carefully next time for a cleaner background or look for a bird which is further away from its background, thus allowing you to blur it (of course this can be done in post-processing). Timing is everything and it would be a great to capture a big worm or fish wriggling in its beak, for example. Water droplets would be nice too. That always requires lots of patience and luck. Hope this is a little help. Kate
