Week #3 - Great Egret in Flight
by Laura Milholland

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

A little awkward, and a little elegant. . . .
Yes, he had just taken off - we disturbed him as we walked by apparently.

Beautiful. Egrets usually look so odd when they are flying, but you made this one look graceful. I love that you captured the flowers and fence to give the photo a sense of "where".

Very nice! I like the light coming through the wings. 1/3200 sure stopped the motion.

Good exposure and interesting wing pose. He's low. Did he just take off? What you said is true. He is both awkward and elegant at the same time. Nicely captured.
