This Snowy egret put on a strutting show for my camera, as though on cue. There was strong morning sunshine only in a few areas, while most of the area was in shade.

The dark bg combined with the beautifully exposed whites and one bright "golden slipper" make this a very outstanding shot, Wayne.

I like everything about this one. The bird is perfectly exposed and sharp and I love it standing out from the dark background. Well done.

Works for me. The whites are well exposed and the image is sharp. I like the fine feathers and yellow foot in the air. Well done.
