Fantastic Shot! #1466903Paulette Plakidas June 15, 2005
Such a beautiful bird, Paula, and you've managed to catch it in such an interesting way. Great shot! #1474586Paula J. Buzenius June 15, 2005
Thank you Rosemary, Jenny, Jessica, Bob and Paulette. I have always thought the adult egrets to be very graceful and enjoy just sitting and watching them when I don't have my camera in hand. And when I have my camera, I enjoy capturing them with back lighting. I find it much more dramatic. #1475494Deborah Sandidge June 16, 2005
Beautiful capture, Paula - I love egrets too! #1479366Paula J. Buzenius June 16, 2005
