On this particular afternoon I had some wonderful light in the lagoon north of the foot bridge. Both a Dark and White Morph Reddish Egrets were fishing but not offering much in the line of the "drunken sailor" routine. So I concentrated in shooting them in various lighting directions, reflections on the water, and a varying array of colors reflected from the sky, clouds and foliage.

This particular image captured the color of the sky and some reddish/orange tint that provided a nice backdrop for the frontlite Whites' plummage.

Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Gorgeous, Robert.
A rare combination of beautiful light, a scarce and spectacular bird and a photographer there with the eye to put it all together.
Great job.

I'll see you at Desoto one of these days. Storms and obligations have been keeping me inside.
