Here is another image from my recent visit to Little Estero Lagoon. I spent one afternoon with this highly cooperative bird (nothing unusual there, I guess). I couldn't resist its beauty. Isn't she beautiful?

EOS 10D + EF 400/5.6L

Thanks for looking,

A beauty indeed, and a perfect exposure to boot. I especially like the raised foot. 8)

cheers, Oliver

Beautiful! Always a plus when you get them with their yellow feet showing.

The sculpted body and wings are really a tribute to the perfect exposure here.

The action is nice, too.

Alan, sorry for breaking the guidelines! It was unintentional, next time I will watch it more carefully, ....

.... and thank you all for your comments.

Oh man this is sweet.
A great composition, and the raised foot puts it over the top.
