Tiptoeing Along

A long time ago I read an article that said not to simply photograph a subject, but photograph about the subject. That has stuck with me and I try to follow that advice whenever I can. So for the first part of this week I'm gonna post some shots I took about an entertaining egret.

An exquisite dynamic image. Exceptional detail throughout.

The title fits perfectly. I fully agree about photographing a story and not just a subject. You did that here with this sharp capture of the Egret in action.

Looks like its walking on deep water. Good capture of the trail it left behind. V

This reminds me of the silly song "Tiptoe through the Tulips". Such an efficient stride.
This is a fine start. "VVV"

that's a valuable insight, and better ensures action captures than the common static nature shots...your image certainly shows how stealthily and delicately it goes on the quest for food...V

What a great action pose you captured, and love the reflection, too.
