A Great Egret landing on the bank of a local pond. Notice the stall condition in the tertiaries.

I cheated on this shot . . . clipped the wingtips on the right. Had to increase the canvas and reconstruct them in photoshop.

I may have never seen it if you hadn't said something, but I can see it now.

Matt has better eyes than these old ones.

Looks good to me, although it sure has a skinny neck?

I really like seeing this angle Daniel. The feather positions are wonderful and really allow one to see what is going on during the moment of landing.
