Snowy egret attack

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

40D. 400f5.6L at f/6.3. iso 400 1/800s. early morning light.

I was shooting a GBH in beautiful morning light and was not really set up for this shot. Heard some splashes and saw this Snowy dancing after a fish on my right side. I was not even in AI servo :-) took my chance....pointed the camera and pulled the trigger. Higher iso and higher SS would have been better.

All C&C welcome and appreciated.

I like the BG and the light shining through the feathers. I also like the water splash.

Kaustubh, I love the back-lighting and the pose is great. Well done for seizing the moment!!

Very lovely translucent wings, KD, they really pop out inn the dark BG. Good timing on your pat, and the AF worked very well!
