Lovely shot!
Wow! Beautiful shot of the Great Egret in flight!
Fab image... superb bird too
A lovely flight capture of a beautiful bird.
Great photo. I have never noticed the green on their face!
What a beauty! Perfect picture! I love the lighting on its wings.
Those wings are fabulous.
Very good shot!!!
Sweet capture! White birds like Egrets are a tough assignment to light properly standing still let alone in fight. The wings on your beautiful take are perfectly defined. Glorious shot!
All- Thank you for the kind words.
@dreamfalcon- The lores (face mask) of the Great Egret turns green during breeding season only. This is shown much better in my egret post from last week.
@Springman- Thanks. I agree, getting the exposure and detail on white birds is tough! I got really lucky on this one. ;-)
terrific flight capture!
