    I like the striding pose wind-blown plumage and the fish adds to it. A lower angle would have made it even stronger.

    Thanks Axel. Agree, I could have gone down for a lower angle.

    I agree too that a lower angle could have been better. Good catch by the egret, and I'm glad the fish is pointing in the right direction (a bummer when the tail is this side instead!). The raised foot, showing the "golden slipper", adds a nice splash of yellow to counter-balance the yellow lores.

    Well done Indy. I wish you were lower but I am spewing about how easy it is for you guys to get so close to these great waterbirds. :D Congrats!

    Beautiful light and whites. Love the raised foot. EXP perfect. Lower would have been great as long as it did no introduce the far shoreline.... Cool little baitfish too.

    Yes, that is good advice, as you had recently pointed out with that Gull image you posted.
