[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Great Egret "watching over" two Lesser Egrets.

- image optimization to landscape (more blues)
- EV compensation to -2/3EV (the whites are tricky to expose properly under a full midday sun, hence the "glow" - a nice substitute for the word "over exposed" hehehe)
- hand held shot.

PP:
- adjusted levels
- by adjusting the color balance I was able to get a deeper blue.
- resized + USM

Bonsoir Allan,

Nice capture. I love the contrast between the dark blue and the white. Image is sharp and well exposed. Nice composition and I like the tight cropping. Good work and TFS.

Hi Allan,

Nice composition, great colors. I don't care if the egrets are a little bright, I think it adds to the photograph. I think the portrait format is nice with the tall birds. This shot would be nicer framed, though!

nice shot
good composition
nice colors
good one

Not that OE, which for white birds in full sun is an achievement in itself. The composition of the birds is excellent, although I'd be tempted to crop a little off the top to stop the birds looking too central in the frame.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
