f 5.6
ISO 450
300mm

Nice enough picture...Being on the shadow side isn't ideal, but in that hard light I actually think it may have worked better than frontal lighting would.

How true about being on the shadow side. Good job.

That's a great start.

'Nother noob here. I think you aced the shot, those things are murder to get good exposures of, bright white as they are. I either overexpose the plumage or underexpose the BG. I like what you have done here.



But that would be a Snowy Egret. Yellow feet.

Thanks, Kurt, for the comments and the correction. SNOWY Egret... : )
