Great Egret photos

[firstsalt]

I was down by a river in Rye, NY and saw a Great Egret. I thought it was out of place but i had my camera and decided that i might as well take some pictures. I like input, as much as possible, i like getting better.

Great photos...if I have any critique to make, it's that the photos could use a little more contrast to make them a bit more dramatic. But, very cool.

You can see the fish in his mouth

In the first two you took pictures of his butt, which usually isn't recommended. They also seem over-exposed. Many of the feathers are pure white with no detail. They also could stand to be cropped IMO. Not bad though. The fish is a nice touch.
