Wow! I almost missed this cute avian portrait!
A virtual bonus rating!

Gorgeous image showing fine facial features & smooth plumage textures.
He really seems to pose for you giving you enough time to compose as he patiently waits.

Verdant background pops out the white subject aesthetically.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Envision


This is a great close up view that really shows off the color of the lore and the eye nicely. The white plumage looks good and the shallow dof is very attractive. I don't think I have ever seen an egret with that color lore before, it is interesting and pretty.

    Thank you so much for the great review! I think the lore is only that color when they are breeding.

An excellent nature photo posted here! Your fine and central composition offers us a wonderful view of your beautiful egret. The feather detail is quite sumptuous. Exposure and sharpness are spot on. Great photo!

I like the slender feathers upon her crown and that vivid red patch on her face. You did an excellent job of capturing her snowy whiteness. The twigs and green of the background are an excellent natural backdrop.

Nice job! The picture is clear and the focus is good too. It has good lighting as well.
I think it's perfect the way it is. Nice entry and good luck to you.

A nice shot, beautifully sharp with natural and well exposed colours. I think the bird is a little too central, in fact a little to the right which just upsets the composition a little. Otherwise very nice shot.

A nice tight composition. The exposure for the white plumage is very good and the colors are superb. I like the sharp rendering of the eye and bill.

The bird is posing for you in such a lovely way, and it is also posing for you showing its best side. Especially the eye is well captured and the red lore is standing out so well.

The bird is standing out Sharp and well defined against the nicely softened background, and it is Clear details to be seen in every part. The white Balance and exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is very good, and the bird has got a fine placement in the photo. A truly lovely and well taken bird portrait, and With an excellent DOF.
