Thanks Debby :-)). I've noticed that many of my shots of various kinds of Egret have those little spots of light below the eyes, when photographed in strong sunlight. I think it may be be a light-collecting feature of the eye-surround that helps with their visual acuity.
They're beautiful birds, that's for sure :-)) These were all photographed at Gatorland in Florida, where they congregate in large numbers, along with other varieties of egret, herons and others.
Beautiful Egret! Wonderful closeups, Mitch!

DeleteI love the light and the shaddow. The third photo is stunning. I myself find it difficult to photograph white stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ulla :-)) Yes, white subjects reflect more light, which can make them more difficult to photograph well.
