Great Egret, Sanibel Island, FL
Taken with a Canon Eos 3, 100-400 IS lens with 1.4x extender on Provia 100f
This bird was very obliging as I set down my tripod and used fill flash to blacken
out the background and add a little catchlight in the eye.

Wonderful Egret shot. Pose, detail, backrground - all works so well. But I`d kill the frame. In my humble opinion, it`s a huge eye-sore smile

Hi Jim
I love the stretch and turning in of the neck on itself. It shows you just how flexible these birds have to be to maintain themselves. Sounds like you have some good equipment and should be able to consistently bring us back excellent photographs like this one.
I was wondering if You Would Show up
Peter BirdsofSanibel- You did my site for me and probable know the name already.

Great. However agree with Alenka about the frame.

he is quite beautiful and so graceful..the catch-light is just perfect....plummage is perfect and well-defined..his beak and curved graceful neck are terrific...nice work and a good eye..

Great shot from all points of view... "Very good" for technique is combined "excelent" for phototechnique and "average" for digital processing, meaning frame....
