Egret and Lunch

[Leroy Laverman]

Took this shot last august during the big wildfires in S. California. The light had an odd orange cast for about a month. The bird has it's nictitating membrane fully up. Any merit in this shot or recover the disk space?

Nice job of getting the peak of the action and a great head angle, but with the tail clipped and the motion blur of the head, this one goes into the can for me. Do you know what it caught?

later and love, artie

I like the action, light and angle, too bad the tail is clipped.
