Default Great Egret while at lunch.

Here is a Great Egret that didn't like me getting too close. Could have gotten an Anhinga with a fish but was eating myself. I know, any REAL photographer would have dropped his/her lunch and got the shot. What can I say, I was hungry. :-\

Funny thing was I wasn't ready to shoot yet. I was still trying to get closer. This is one of those hurry up, compose, and press. Luck shot! Thank you for the comments.

This is one of those shots that blowing the whites a bit really adds to the pic .
I would print that for sure.

Thank for the comments Padre and dc2.

Hard not to blow highlights on these guys. They are very white with little to no feather detail. The original has a bit more detail than the one I scaled down for the web.

Very nice. Too bad the bird isn't facing us.
