Veil of Grace

A Great Egret in breeding plumage, its delicate aigrettes cascading like a silken veil, arches its neck as it preens. The single visible eye is perfectly lit to captivate the viewer. Monochromatic tones emphasize each feather's ethereal elegance, creating a haunting portrait of grace.

About Artist

Janelle Schroeder

I am an equine and wildlife photographer and I split my time between Denver, CO and Indian Shores, FL. I have the perfect blend of mountain wildlife in the summer and birds on the Gulf of Mexico outside my front door the other three seasons. My equine photography focuses on fine art portraits, stallion promotion and breeding stock.
