Fabulous wildlife capture, Patti! I've always wanted to go to Hilton Head for that very reason - to shoot waterfowl in the marshes - now I want to go even more! I love the background here - the marsh grasses and water really provide a great backdrop to the Egret and make him pop so! Love it! #9589092
