Asilomar State Beach, Ca
A sneaker wave caught this egret to far out at low tide. 7D2, Sigma 150-600mmC@581mm, F10, 1/3200, + 0.33 EC
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

My only suggestion is that the egret should find easier fishing grounds. Nice wave action and fun shot, David.

Great action in this one, Dave, and an excellent job of keeping separation between the Egret and the wave.

You gotta watch those sneaker waves. They can be dangerous to photographers and Egrets alike. A real nice action shot and I like the fact that you have really good depth of field in the front of the wave and including the Egret. Really good exposure control on the white plumage.

Rather unconventional BG but extremely dramatic. It's great to hit the right exposure in shots like these. Well done.

Terrific dynamic shot of one of my favorite avian subjects.The bit of dark sand at the bottom a nice contrasting touch in the composition.

Looks about as good of an action shot as they get David. Nice job with the whites in both egret and wave. I love the extra details in the wave especially.

David
Great capture of this egret. The BG has almost a surreal quality which is very nice against the egret. Congratulations on the WP!
