Back Lit Snowy Egret

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

This Snowy Egret fluffed himself up for a second.
I liked the way it looked with the light coming from behind him.

1/3200s f/6.3 at 420.0mm iso250

I like the backlighting through his feathers and the little dots of light. Excellent job.

This is just lovely, Laura. Very pretty photo subject and rim lighting capture. He sure was close to get a nice head shot like this. Just lovely.

These birds are IMHO very beautiful and I like this one a lot with the backlighting that flatters him even more. Super job!
