Reddish Egret

[Rod Wiley]

This image was created this morning on Bonita Beach. I had the Gitzo 1340 laid flat with all three legs spread to get close to the ground in about 6" of water.

Very cool pose and perspective, the fish adds to it. I might give it a bit more room.

Hi Rod,
Great action and pose!...even though i ususally like em' tight........I will agree with the bit more room............especially on the left where the reddish is looking.

[Brian Wong]

Hi Rod!

I love the powerful, yet intimate feeling! Very nice! The small white waves to the right draws my eyes, and seems to mimic the fish? I don't think I would evict them, as they add a sense of depth ... maybe tone down some? I love all the angles, the partial up wings, and the splash of water off the fish. Tells a great story!

[Brutus Ostling]

Gave me another laugh. This is one of the best "dancing" reddish I've seen. I don't think there is anything disturbing too much in the water, but I am not one of those who use PS to take everything so called disturbing away. Wish I had taken it.

Pose, action, and sharpness!!!! Outstanding moment!!! I love it! It is true what they say about the room, I get that all the time hehehe.. I have to work on that, but still I LOVE this shot!

[Steve Wheeler]

Exceptional image... Pose is great and the fish is "tasty". Love the water trail behind the fish.

Nicely done!

Fantastic pose and action! Congratulations on such a fine image. Viewing on my monitor, I feel is could be toned down just a bit.

Beautiful reddish egret. I admire all your work, Rod. You are lucky to live in such an abundant area and you have immense talent. I checked out your website.
