American Egret on the Wing
Caught this Egret flying along the Trinity River in East Fort Worth this evening. I also got one with wings in the classic up position, but focus was not as crisp as this one.

Some of my other shots are on viewable on:

Tech: Canon 40D, 100-400@400mm, f8, 1/800, ISO 400, Auto WB, handheld.

This is an excellent capture Daniel! Personally I really like the wind position because of the diagonals and how they lead you into the body. Perfectly exposed whites with wonderful detail. A real winner! :toast:

Excellent job, Daniel. Well done preserving white detail with this fast mover. A very graceful pose.

Daniel a great capture of an Egret in flight. Very sharp and great detail in the feathers.
