This was one of those spectacular, productive mornings that one gets at Ft. DeSoto. There were Terns and Pelicans diving, Dolphins swimming by, Egrets (Snowy, Reddish, Great) fishing. This Snowy had particularly beautiful colors and I followed it for at least 1/2 hr. Probably should have used a little higher shutter speed.

Love the action, including water, the pose and the fish's eye. The light angle was very challenging and would like room for virtual legs. TFS

Thanks for your comments, David. The light angle was difficult and I could have gotten more of the virtual legs if was standing rather than sitting.He "played" with this fish for a while and I got four or five others in this sequence.
