Great breeding colors, really nice reflection, lovely circles of water, and the added touch of the fish make this an excellent image! Did you take this recently? I was in Florida last month, and photographed some reddish egrets whose breeding colors were just emerging...but none were this vivid a month ago.

Wonderful colors! I've never seen a reddish egret, nor a photo of one with color like that!

Beautiful image and reflection, Stuart - makes me wish to experiment more and participate in this forum, I really enjoyed viewing:)

Kind regards,

Nice bird and image Stu. Gabriela, absolutely you should experiment more and participate in OOTB!
