Retreat At Dusk

This Great Egret, the first of the season at Cap Tourmente, leaves its feeding ground to find a night roosting refuge.

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens with the 1.4 II extender on a tripod @ 1/800, f6.3, ISO 640, +2/3 exposure compensation.

Slight crop to place the bird at a rule-of-thirds position. A few of the more larger and whiter insect spots removed. Background despeckled after sharpening.

Cheers,

Mike
