Back lit Egret

Caught this fellow flying against the sun yesterday as I was packing up from the mill pond.

Very nice Vulcan, beautiful light and tone... well done.

Many thanks dbriz.

That's a great shot, how long were you over there for then ?

Cheers Arty'.
Was only there for maybe 2 hours till about 3.30ish.
Must admit the shot looks like it could be taken in the evening, but that's just how it came out with the bird & the sun at the right spot I guess - the rain kept starting n stopping & the sun was doing its best to burn through the black clouds giving that weird light.

Love it..

I really love the way the light comes through the wings.

Great catch. The sun gave it an aged ivory look to it.
