    I went to the University of Pretoria yesterday, and came away with this inflight Egret. The BG is OOF water, covered in duckweed. OK, the HA could have been a tad better. ;)

    Lovely flight pose and sharpness. Those feet look awesome. Wish for a better HA. Whites below the wing look a bit hot, but take that with a grain of salt as I don't trust my monitor.

    Mm, almost as good as it gets except it's slightly angled away. Awesome colors bro! Well done. :)

    Nice sharp flight shot Stuart, like the backgound which gives a sense of motion and great to capture the bird in breeding plumage.
