I was at our local park yesterday and got this guy waiting for a meal. This was taken with my Canon EF 100-300, my only big telephoto at the moment(still saving for the 100-400L). The best $200 I ever spent! Please let me know your C&C, and as always, thanks!

Love it. The subtle blue lets the Egret stand out just nicely I think.

Nice shot, exposure looks good and the blue background really works with the white Egret. Good detail in the whites also! :)

Thanks everyone! I got lucky with the blue water background, it's actually light brown from the recent rains we've had, but the sky's reflection gave it the shade of blue.
