Captured this egret a while back at the Dallas rookery. I liked the vibrant colors and blue sky. Comments and critiques welcome.

Pro, an excellent shot of the Cattle Egret, combative and in full breeding colors; also excellent detail. Con, the sky is way too saturated for my tastes.

Beautiful, Jerry. Excellent to get one in such great breeding plumage. Sweet head turn as well.
