A high-angled side-view close-up shows a snowy egret amid a blurry, green background. The egret is facing toward the left of the image, and its sharp, pointed, black beak slants downward. The bird’s feathers are pristine white aside from a section of yellowish feathers on the crown of its head that extends into wiry strands near the rear. A narrow section of yellowish feathers is also present at the top of the beak, beneath the eye. The eye has a dark-black pupil in the center with a yellow-gold ring around it. The neck is curved delicately in an S shape. The blurriness of the background suggests a moving or bokeh quality.
