Snowy Egret

Captured this egret this morning at Belmar. Thanks for looking.

Canon 1D Mark2
500mm lens

I like the color and detail on the feathers and the clean background. Nice job with exposure. That's a touch one against that darker background.

Great portrait, Dan. I love those Snowy hairdos.

This needs the caption "Bad Hair Day?" Nice shot.

Dan the wildlife man...at it again and exceptional as always, great image.

Great exposure control on this, Dan... every detail available in the feathers, but also in the bill.

Was there some grass or reeds close to you? There are a couple of reddish blobs visible against the lake. I don't see them on the Egret, though, so I guess no harm, no foul.

Great light on the egret and a nice soft background.

Thanks everyone!

Beautiful lighting and amazing details you captured here Dan. The Egret is posed perfectly, and yo composed well!.
What are those red streaks on the left, I'm just curious too like Les?.

Beautiful! I like the background color a lot.

great detailed shot, nice exposure, I am bugged a little bit by the dark top thought it's not too bad to me,

Very nice, Dan. The egret really stands out against that bg. I wish we had some of those guys down in southwestern CO.

Excellent shot, Dan. You're lucky to have such a photo bonanza nearby.

Exquisite!
