An eye-level close-up shot shows the head and neck of a great egret against a blurred background of bright yellows. The egret's plumage, captured in sharp focus, appears white. The fine down is clearly visible along the graceful curve of its neck. Its feathers are slightly ruffled, and its head feathers reflect the sunlight, giving them a bright appearance. The egret's eye is yellow, with a black pupil. A patch of yellow skin extends from the eye to the base of its beak. The bird's long, pointed beak is a vibrant, orangey yellow. The tip of the beak appears very sharp but just slightly out of focus. The background, out of focus to emphasize the bird, is a mix of dark blue hues punctuated with pops of bright yellow. This combination of colors creates a pleasant contrast with the egret's pristine white plumage.
