Water off the feet make this one for me Wayne. Nice shot with a nice BG.

Beautiful flight shot Wayne-the trailing water droplets add a great sense of motion. Nice BG contrast against the bird as well. :toast:

Great image Wayne. All the superlatives above are right on. If you don't mind a bit of constructive input, if this were mine I would consider darkening the bright orange reflections behind the bird. Still a great image as is.

I really like this image. The water droplets off his feet. The orange behind the bird is very appealing to me.

Hi Wayne,
Great lighting and details in this shot. The background really brings out the Egret nicely. I especially like the wing position, well done.
