A good shot of the egret, but there are things that can be done to make it a stellar shot. Getting closer by zoom, by different camera lens, or physically closer (if possible; safety first, then try to get the shot imho) will have your main subject fill the frame more. Thus making the subject dominate the spotlight rather than swim in too much negative space. A lot of detail in the feathers and body is lost - you have great detail and balance of light in the reeds behind it but it is to the sacrifice of the egret. White tends to blow out if you are not careful to balance it with adjusting shutter speed and/or aperture. Expose the photo for the white bird even if that means your backdrop is going to turn out a bit dark. Actually it would help make the egret pop more off a slightly darker or dark backdrop. If your camera has it, something that would greatly help is using the camera's histogram to determine if it's too light or too dark by seeing if the graph falls to far to the left or right. |
