I watched this guy and his buddy nibble grass at the edge of the water three days ago. Finally, he took a drink of water and I got this exposure, which I liked best of my photos -- nothing unusual in the pose, of course. I was close and the light was good, so I did very little post processing.

That Egyptian is a tough bird to reproduce Looks great and you even got some detail in the white patch by the tail !!! Nothing like sweet light and nailing the exposure !!!

One of your best Wendell, looks nice and sharp. The BG colours of the water are very lovely. Well done:)

Nice job Wendell. I especially like the color rendition and the reflections in the water.
