Well Scottish Winter Great White Egret, bet you did not expect that.
Taken last December at a small farm pool about 4miles from my home. It was catching a stickleback every 17seconds looking at my photos,
Any advice on what i could do to get more detail in the white would be greatly appreciated.
All the best

Idon't think there is any more detail in the whites on a bird like this. They are very tight feathered anyway.
Looks ok to me , although it does look a tiny bit soft at this size.

Looks good to me. I never get much from these guys unless they fluff up.

Feather detail looks good to me too, especially bearing in mind the species. Not what I was expecting from anything with the word "Scottish" in the title.

The whites look very good Ian. I'd add some more sharpening as it looks a little soft. Minor nit though.

A unique Scottish image I would suggest. They are not easy subjects at the best of times.
A pleasure to view.
