 A Cattle Egret fishing in winter. I don't usually see these guys around this time of year, so finding one in camera range in late afternoon was a real treat. Love that golden light :-)

Zen. I like how beak and legs fall in place with the other lines in the scene.

beautiful egret in his natural habitat, not easy to capture these guys and not blow out the whites, nicely done
