Opportunity Missed!

Snowy White Egret

I know his head and back are a bit over exposed, but at the time I was aiming for what he might come up with from the water. (hoping to see a fish)
This fella had been hunting down the edge of this pond and kept getting closer. This was the first dive in after a fish, and he came up empty.
Instead, he drew back with this interesting stream of water droplets. Shortly after this shot, He looked up, saw me, and flew off to a different pond to fish.

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/1512s f/2.6 at 700.0mm iso200 full exif
