Little Egret

I like to photograph Little Egret due to its snowy white color feather. I have a high tendency to over-expose on the white color feather, so I always have to reduce the expose using the Lightroom (LR) and increase the "recovery" in order to get the deatil out of the snowy white feather. Here are the 2 comparison photos:
