Another image taken from the same hide as the Egret posting, but this was at the last knockings of light. I wasn't expecting the subject to be as close as it was and so it was on the minimum focus (200mm). I've left the lighter highlights in as I felt the BKG would have looked too sterile, likewise I have not extended the RHS.
Thanks to those who both viewed and more importantly, commented.
