This was another image that was taken on Wednesday 12-10-03 near the fish cleaning table, Cove Harbor Marina, Rockport Tx. This Egret was very cooperative, also hungry! I think that this one is a little better.

Having not seen one this is a cool looking bird. Nice catch with the foot raised.

David, The DOF and sharpness for a 2X on a 600 is amazing. Excellent photo.

This one is excellent, but I think the first has more impact, especially if it were darkened a bit to match the saturation/tonality of this one.

I really like the light and the action in this one. These birds move around so fast when they dance, great catch!
