It may be the only time I was at Blackpoint Wildlife Drive in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge that the wind was so calm. Image of a Reddish Egret motionless fishing, concentrating, waiting for the fish to come with in striking distance. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Now that is a mirror like reflection. The pose is great. Also love the blue water. The ohter reservation i have is the framing. Would like to see the same amount of room below the bird as above.
The reflections is so perfect that you could turn the image upside down and nobody would know.
with love, artie
