Great Egret.

I have been focusing on this bird (no pun intended) for the last week or so as they are seasonal visitors and won't stay long.
Thanks for looking

Superb image with great light. The bill just touching the water is perfect.

That's an excellent shot Karl.with a lovely pose and POV in really nice light, but it's the timing of the bill near the water with the water droplets that makes it for me

Nice image Karl, good exposure on the whites, lovely colors in the background. Thank you for sharing.

[Greg Oakley]

Lovely work Karl! Great behavior, timing and reflection, plus you have handled the whites beautifully

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the sharpness, composition, fall colours and water trailing off the bill. Well done Karl.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent pose and light, good exposure control, nice comp and good ambient.

Hi Karl.
great pose,light and good exposure on the whites.very nice colors.

[David Salem]

The colors, the eye contact and the killer techs all make for a beautiful frame Karl. Nice work.

It is pretty neat to see this species set off by some autumnal colours! The whites look great, and the bit of splashing water is a nice bonus. A tastefully presented image.

Thank you all. I few years ago I lost hundreds of shots of this birds fishing and flying around in this colorful setting due to hard drive crash.
This time is a redemption for me.
