Nice job on the whites, Peter. I always like the contortionist shots and this is a beauty.

The exposure is good and the detail is quite good, but the colors look a little grayish to me; while we don't get egrets in Alaska, those I have seen stateside are pure white. Was it an overcast day or is your whitebalance off a bit?

I like his choice of perch as well as his pose. You did well in maintaining the detail in the whites. Nice capture.

Hi Jim

I set my first posting with a vibrance of -19. This is with the viberance at zero.

I also thought of posting it in gray scale.
