Mariano San José González's picture

little egret (Egretta garzetta)

hey are very skittish and you have to be very careful when they take flight. If they stretch their necks, it means that they will most likely take flight. I had the camera with continuous monitoring and waiting for it to fly.

You caught a beautiful, graceful moment in the bird's flight, and placed it well in the frame, creating a very satisfying image, Mariano. Well done!

You did very well if the bird IS so skittish, Mariano! That sublimely graceful pose is just perfect! You manage to give us a clear head shot, with that quaint trailing feather, AND the majestic sweep of those wings. The soft background provides the perfect cushion for it.
