Great White Egret

[tom ryan]

I've been working the Sweetwater Wetlands the past few weeks. It's one of the better kept secrets here in Tucson. I spotted this Great White early one morning and made a number of exposures. "White" is always difficult for me and the quality and direction of light didn't help...tom

I like it. It looks like it's mounted on a mirror! BTW, Whites are HORRID for me!

Well done Tom and the whites are excellent with no loss of detail. The symmetry of the shot is great too.

You did good with the exposure!

I'd say you got the white problem fixed. :)

" It's one of the better kept secrets here in Tucson." Not any more after this post...Ha, Ha...now you're going to see a flock of camera birds down there...That's a great shot Tom, love the mirror effect and the way the egret is gazing at itself, it has a very soothing mood...steve
