Egret and reflections

I think this will be the last picture of the egret taken at The Yards with my iPhone. We were closer to him from this vantage point and had been watching for a while, when suddenly the water lit up with reflections from a metal walkway out to a dock.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

I also agree about the bottles. People are careless. Really nice light though and the capture of the bird is striking. V

A very nice Egret composition looks like he is waiting out his next meal.
Nice light reflections and very nice exposure handling the light .

Have to admit I was more interested and dismayed by the plastic bottles. Sad observation.

Nut much of inteterest for the egret to catch I'm afraid. Great capture though. !!V

The Egret looks like he should find cleaner waters to hunt for prey. Nice catch of reality here. V

I agree with Jose. How sad to see a discarded plastic bottle in with the wildlife.
