    Default Golden River Egret

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    In certain areas along the Chobe river, at the right time of the afternoon, the amazing golden light reflects off the high banks of the river and creates this awesome soft golden colour on the water, it just does not get any better that this Little Egret chasing and catching fish in the shallows with light like this. Chobe River, Botswana.

    Liking the strong colors in this one, well timed with the splashes which also contrast nicely against the overall color tones. Gotta know....what is making such a large splash

    Beautiful light and action! I like the contrast, the color, the catch-light in the eye and the composition too. Great shot!
