Great Egret with an attitude.
Another in my quest for a competition entry for January in the "enhanced" (maniputlated) category. I prefer to keep the manipulation to a minimum - no exotic filters and such - and this out of frame technique serves my purpose. If you wouldn't mind looking at yesterday's candidate (click "next") and telling me which you prefer, I'd appreciate it.
This shadow's all wrong. If I use this one, I'll have to work on that.
