King of the Pond

The elegant stance of this Great Egret seems to say "I am king here!" And I will give the egret its due. It is as regal as royalty and stands in such a stately pose.

The great egret is also known as the common egret, large egret or great white heron, They nest in trees close to water and are found mostly in tropical and warmer temperate regions of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe.

Before looking at the shot-data I guessed correctly what camera you were using. Nice exposure and setting.

He's a beauty. I love how his feathers are fluffed. He does look the master of his domain! ;)
