    The weather were not to kind to me and the light were from the wrong side ,although this were not a plan shot
    I took some shots of other birds when this caught my eye, I quickly reacted

    Your comments would be appreciated

    The pose and comp are outrageously good Chris! Details are cool too. Very nicely done.

    Cool pose and interesting composition. Details look good, too. I would tone down the highlights some more. In this case I don't mind that the bird is slightly angled away.

    Hi Chris

    You capture a strange but appealing pose here. I have never seen a Little egret pulls this type of move before but always a fun bird to photograph. What is in the water below the bird?

    Cheers

    Ha! Well seen and taken. Looks very good considering the light you had. If anything, I might lose the ?prey in the water.

    Thanks for all the kind comments.....
    I don't know what's in the water but it certainly drew his attention. Stu it did not touched the water, he ignored the bait and carried on flying.

    Akos if we would enter him in the SA diving team this dive be our firts Gold medal:)
