Fantastic image Dixonlau - it works very well as black & white. I am surprised more bird photographers don”t try this more often with monochrome plumaged birds. Of course the lighting and focus needs to be spot on as well as the composition as they are here in order for it to work. Thank you.

Usually if possible, I would go for color instead. But this shot just doesn't work well in color as background too distracting with some grasses. And yes, you are right, Egret works quite well in Black & White too. Thanks.
