This Snowy Egret was pearched on the bank of a rapidly stream looking for passing fish. He was so focused on getting his meal, that he did not mind me and my camera watching him. The first shot was him watching the pond from the edge. I then moved to an angle which allowed me to shoot from below his pearch. The second shot provides some what of what a fish might see when swimming by in the pond. :) It is a very different perspective of the Snowy. I did crop some space of the top in the second shot.

The second shot my be a little hot, it was afternoon sun light hitting this very white bird, I could not resist the angle :)

Nicely exposed on the white. Love the contrast of his yellow feet and black legs. It amazes me how oblivious they are to their surroundings when they become so focused on finding prey.

Both are excellent captures , the low angle of the second is very unique !

The first shot seems a bit soft around the eye...but the second shot is a major WOW! Excellent use of DOF, unusual but quite appealing angle, and a killer pose too!

Hi Keith,
I'm also with # 2 great angle and you captured his pose , as you mentioned I agree about the white being a little hot.
