First, I apologize to anyone that saw this on eyefetch and knows it's mine. I had another in but decided on this one since my family likes it so much.
Taken during a camping trip to Ventura, CA. My husband and dog slept in the camper while I went out and chased birds around the estuary. The egrets were extremely cooperative and not really afraid of me.
Crop, levels, hue/sat, cloned out some muck in the water. Resized and saved for web.

That moment just before breaking into water surface and the definition of the human like body, echo of lines in beak and legs, all delicious. Don't mind circular ripple.
Dawn! This is awesome! It is so nice to not only see you back in a challenge -- but to come back with such a kick-butt photo! Way to GO! I love this photo!!! LOVE IT!
