My Egret for the day

[Ira Runyan]

At the Viera Wetlands today, I came upon an Egret resting on one of the water pipes used for introducing water into the system. As the bird was for the most part stationary, I set my camera at ISO 100 and took a few shots at F8 and used a EC of -1/3 to -2/3.
Here is the results...............

I think the third one is the best !!

I think I prefer no. 3 as well! The horizontal pipey thingy on the left is distracting a little in a couple of them, in no.2 a little top cropping would get rid of it. What's the "bubbles" above the bird? I also find these a little distracting...esp as the rest of the photo is so "clean". The claws are cropped a little too close IMHO in the first and last. Having said all that, stunning colours and good sharpness And a beautiful bird!
