Description
"Egret In The Mist", from my latest commission.
Egrets are elegant, long-legged wading birds from the heron family, known for their slender bodies and striking white plumage. They are commonly found near water bodies such as ponds, lakes, marshes, and coastal areas, where they thrive in shallow waters rich in fish, frogs, and other small aquatic creatures. Their sharp, pointed beaks and graceful necks make them highly efficient hunters, often seen standing still or slowly stalking their prey before striking with precision. Egrets are also excellent fliers, with broad wings that allow them to glide effortlessly across wetlands.
A fascinating fact about egrets is their historical connection to the fashion industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their beautiful feathers were highly sought after for decorative purposes in hats and clothing, leading to significant population declines due to overhunting. This sparked early conservation efforts, including the formation of organizations like the Audubon Society. Today, egrets are protected under various wildlife laws and have made a remarkable recovery. Their presence near water ponds is a sign of ecological health.

Nothing to say about color rendering. It is always masterclass. The monochromatic feel with the mist effect and the droplets of water are very brilliantly done. Incredible! FXFB
