Stunning capture Karen! #964220Eivor Kuchta July 20, 2008
Oooh, wonderful!! #6201995Molly A. O July 20, 2008
This is so cool. I usually like the background blurred with animals, but the white bird against the texture in the grasses look awesome and then then stillness of the water. Really Nice:) #6202051Aggie Villanueva July 20, 2008
Excellent photo. Again, I really like the soothing softness about it. #6202397Karen Waters July 20, 2008
Thanks everyone!I was really pleased to finally get this shot because the bird was afraid of me and kept flying downstream. I had to follow him VERY carefully by hiding behind bushes to get it. #6202425

Really NICE, Karen!! The egret really stands out in this soft, soothing image! Good reflection too - helping to bring the eye back into the image. Good composition. #6225769Karen Waters July 24, 2008
