This was taken in February at Fort Desoto in Florida. I really enjoyed watching them run around. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Fantatsic Jim, the colors and shooting angle are great. Nice detail in the Egret

[pat lillich]

beautiful colors - the bg is incredible. love him walking towards you - great shot!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great colours, pose, comp. I almost get the feeling the image may need half a degree CCW rotation?

[Sachin Saraf]

Excellent capture Jim...Loved it for all the good reasons mentioned above.

[Mark Itol]

Great pose, detail, setting. Love the water trail, too. Beautiful!

[Melissa Groo]

Heavenly sea/sky merge and BG. Love the angle towards you and the raised foot. I agree that it may need a slight CCW rotation.

[Dan Walker]

Fantastic pose, love the smooth water, BG and the water movement at the feet. Love the feathers on the neck.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Jim, great IQ, and just love the light and colours in this. I like both the shooting angle, and the angle of the egret, together with the wading pose with the raised leg. Good overall detail too.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Stuart said what I was going to. great great pose that you froze. terrific timing to get that foot fully out. one heck of a shot.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Really nice Jim. The raised foot and water spash are just great.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and comments. Daniel and Melissa I will try a version with a little CCW rotation and see how it looks.

[Jack Breakfast]

A "classic" and very well done at that!
