Breeding Plumage

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Photographed this median egret in breeding plumage from a boat in Ranganathittu.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 1.4xII ie. at 560mm, ISO 200, f8, 1/500.

Cheers,

Nice one Sabyasachi. Getting the whole beak would have added more to the image.

Nice portrait. Sharp. The details on the feathers and beak are nice.

[Rajan Kanagasabai]

Nice sharp snap. Agree with Bibhav, would have been great if the beak was fully visibile.

BTW: is this the same one that Mrudul had a full profile posted ?

It is the same one. I clicked it as an after thought after the boat turned around the bend. :D
