The Lion of Ft. Desoto - Reddish Egret - Ft. Desoto Park

This guys was famous back in early 2007. Some of us got better images than others but this guy was well photographed. I only saw him this one time. I was determined to get an image, so I put my tripod in 3 feet of water for this image.

This image will be in display at my Everglades National Park photo exhibit next month. You have to see the colors in the print.!! They are amazing!!

Hope you like it!

Canon 30D, 400mm L @ f/8. 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, RAW, Tripod, Almost full frame.

Thanks!

Excellent timing Maxis. Very colorful image.

Bird is in splendid plumage. It's a fine image; good resolution and clarity; good low angle. Do you send your images out for printing service? Did you do some work on the BG?

[Maxis Gamez]

Do you send your images out for printing service?

Hi Mark,

No. I do my own printing.

Did you do some work on the BG?

I removed a branch from behind the bird but it was minimal.

Thank you for your words!
