Wow, that is an incredble image! Just one thing...what is that mark there in the middle? Otherwise it's perfect!

looks like a reed coming up through the water..

Fabulous image.. perfect timing.. perfect composition (text book!)

This is one of a kind!

Good timing! Very nice shot.

Wonderful image. I really like the sense of slow motion and the drops of water coming from the feet.

expsoure is spot on, timing is perfect, composition is top notch. it don't get much better than this.
Congrats on a fantastic shot.

Very nice shot and nice timing, wings in perfect position.
Wildlife reserve in NE Ohio, could you be more specific? I live on Ohio-PA border and would love to find a place where I can see Egrets.
Actually saw 6 in a little place called Rayland Ohio on Ohio River, about a month ago, but they seem to be long gone.

Thanks for looking

thanks everyone for looking and the compliments, as far as the branch in the water I left it there because it really didn't bother me, I could have cloned it out easily enough but I figured there wasn't any reason to.
Jim in respose to where this was taken I think I misinformed you it is at Sandy Ridge/Lorain County Metro Park System
