Over at Delta Ponds I watched this Great Egret as it hunted along the opposite side of a pond. I saw this patch of bright golden sunlight and waited for the egret to come out into the light. Using the Vivid setting in the camera I was able to add contrast between the light area and the dark background in the rest of the scene, all the time working to get the white of the egret properly exposed. I was pleased with the result.
