October 2025 - Great White Egret With Bedding
Original
About the Image(s)
Taken at the end of January, as I was leaving Manaus within the Amazon river some 1,000 miles from the Atlantic. This Great White Egret (which I believe it is) was the first I have seen and it passed reasonably near our cruise ship. I like the green on its head. Settings - 1/1,250 f 6.3 ISO 200 at 420 FF (I have no idea why I didn’t zoom in more as I could have done, but I was taking people on a small tributary at the time. I could have had a 800mm reach. PP in Lightroom and Topaz Photo Ai.

Beautiful pale blue and white coloring. A bird holding on to nesting material always adds to the composition. Sharp, with the underside of the outstretched wings exposed well. Perhaps a little too much negative space on the right? Good effort. Posted: 10/08/2025 16:00:05
