A full shot shows a white Great Egret perched on a branch, against a dark murky green background. The Egret has its body facing right, but its head is turned to face left with its tall neck curved. The egret's plumage is entirely white, with long, delicate plumes extending from its back. The feathers are smooth and well-groomed. The long neck is curved into an S-shape, giving the bird a distinctive, elegant posture. The head has a yellow pointed sharp beak with a slight dark top ridge. The egret has a green patch close to its eye. Its eye is golden. The bird stands on a slender branch with short twigs projecting from it. The branch is dark brown and appears weathered. The background and light are dark allowing the bright white egret to become a contrast focal point.
