Great Egret in landing mode. Once in a while I get one of those images where it all clicks together.

This is a wonderful image Wayne. Love the flight postition and the directional light. Very sharp and a good exposure. Really nice flight shot for sure. Well done.

Great exposure and pose!
I wonder what it would look like if the egret was leveled a bit? Kind of an awkward angle, as is..
