Little egret in action

[Atul Sinai]

Hi,

Please critique. Shot from a shallow bridge on river Mulla. Wasn't possible to get any closer.
Had kept the shutter speed high on purpose. Was looking for a shot with the egret eating fish. Though it did attempt to catch; unfortunately for both of us, it failed to catch any. This one was shot while it was walking around in search of food.

You got the feet nicely. I have not seen images of egrets with the yellow feel out in the open very often. Good job there. Would it have been better to use one third of a stop lower exposure compensation?

Nice walking pose. Agree the yellow feet look good. I think the exposure is fine. Good eye contact. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. I like the walking pose with raised feet. Reduce the colour temperature a bit. Thanks for sharing.
