G Egret Night Flight

[Michael Stern]

Greetings,
I got this image this evening as the egret was coming home to roost for the night. It was just getting dark and he was just gliding in and my flash actually worked! Hope you like it!

Very cool; the image looks 3 dimensional. What is the shadow being cast on?

[Paul Randall]

Very nice Mike. Don't you love when your flash actually lights up everything that it was supposed to.
I'm guessing the shadow is cast on fog or mist. It actually does'nt take away from the image too much, kind of unique.

It WAS a light mist in the air and then shortly thereafter it started to RAIN!! I had to run for cover!:)
