It's the little things that can make a photo and in this case I captured the shadow of the great egret's head through it's wing feathers.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Stunning Morris. The shot is a beauty, but shadow takes it over the top! 👍🏻

Great shot, glad you pointed out the shadow that I missed on first glimpse - def. takes it to the next level.

Morris, that's a keeper for sure. It's one of those images that will never be repeated in your lifetime.
Great capture for sure!

Thank you Jim,
My camera liked that shadow so much that's the head it chose to focus on.

Thank you Greg,
This is the third time I've caught a head shadow on a wing yet this is probably the best one

Great look to this challenging shot due to light and whites!

So the shadow is the subject

I think you need to put in a little lighter spot for an eye

Cool one Morris

Thank you Karl,

My camera saw it the same as you did as it focused on the shadow on the wing.

Lovely image! Handled the backlight nicely and the unique head shadow is well played! Something I've been striving for in my recent work...looking for things to make shots unique and different. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you John,

The backlight was planed, the head shadow was luck
