Reddish Egret

From Ft Desoto a couple of weeks ago. It was foggy a fair portion of the morning. This was one of only a few frames with the bird in good light. 60% of full frame cropped from horizontal.

This is a very nice shot! The sharpness is perfect and he has an awesome pose. I like the colors on the bird there really cool. Awesome picture!

Posture of bird, sharpness and DOF are excellent. TFS.

Nice to see you got your chance at our famous Reddish. You should see his color now. Beautiful.. That was a foggy week, kinda hard to shoot early but nice light later. This looks good.

Nice clean comp Bill. Good light too. Depending on what is in the BG I might have gone with less FG and more BG, but again I don't have the full image to compare the two potential comps.
