This was taken at Ding Darling in Florida this last winter. It is always fun to go to Ding Darling because there are birds every where.

I like the feeling of intimacy in this. The larger version shows excellent detail and overall quality.

This is very nice Richard. I love the setting especially and also the way those yellow feet stand out. Perfect DOF to make this image shine.

Richard,

I like the mangroves in this image, they help to lend a feeling of intimacy to this shot. I like the pose of the egret, the nice view of the golden slippers and the composition you used.
