Lately most shots of Egrets have not had much color in the sky.
I tend to meter on the white bird, helps with details. However the background can be either much less or too much color.
This Egret was further out, a longer shot, and I had basic settings.
I think it worked well until white clouds were behind the Egret at his highest ascent.
Everything is a trade off.
Beautiful! His mate will be very happy to add this long stick to her nest.
So happy she will send right back out for another 😂😂
