Great Egret Portrait 2

Alligator Farm - St. Augustine, Florida
April 8th, 2022
When taking bird portraits, I like to use foreground or background elements whenever possible to add detail, depth, texture and overall compositional interest. I saw this Great Egret with his full breeding colors posed on a nearby tree branch. I moved my position and compose what I thought was an interesting view of this beautiful bird. The early morning light accents draw interest to the birds head and face.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
