I photographed this egret as s/he was flying back to the shore. I love the way the force of air separated the feathers on those large wings.

Elizabeth,
Great work on the B&W conversion, the tonal quality is very nice especially in the water. I like how you captured the start of touch down with the beginning of a splash at the foot. The spread primary feathers on both wings and the reflection in the water adds to the overall composition . . . laugh
