Great Egret

This egret was very close to me by the waters edge. The sun was setting behind us. The sun's reflection made for an interesting look. I would have loved to have gotten more of the reflection, but it was cut off by the waters edge. Critiques and comments welcome.

The backlit egret stands out nicely against the BG of the dark water and the log. Usually I'm not a fan of shooting down on birds but in this instance it seems to work.

Nice shot of the egret. Maybe lighten up a little.

Difficult conditions you had here :rolleyes:

Maybe a little more light will do the trick, but in general I miss the eye contact with bird.
