Full Spread of Glory
9th Place

San Francisco Bay Area

A very cooperating great egret, resting on the pole doing nothing for over an hour and just when the sun is about to set, it DECIDEDLY spread its wings of glory for a split second JUST when I had my lens aimed at her. She is one elegant creature and has got to be one of the most efficient fishing champion of her kind delivering 2-3 silverbacks every minute.

On second look, I notice it's a bit too sharpened... lot's of artifacts around the bird... still... a nice shot. -Byron

Michael,
The background colors are stunning and really enhance the image. The semi-transparency of the wings is also very pleasing. Roberta

Beautiful. Her wings look so delicate. What a fine flight machine! ~ Lonnit
