Great action shot, Joe. I love the running pose with raised foot, and of course the catch is a real bonus. I also like the hint of color in the water. I only wish his head was clear of the wing.

This captures the essence of Reddish Egret very well. Sweet pose. I think the colors are too muted. Also the underwing looks noisy to me and lacking in fine feather detail.
