This Great Egret needs lots of Lift to due to it's size and water drag. Shot from 200+ ft and heavily cropped. Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-300mm VR Lens, Hoya Polarize Filter, FL 300mm, F/6.3, SS 1/1600, ISO 400, WB Cloudy. Have A Great Day ! E J

Fantastic action shot with excellent details and colors! I like how the water is trying to cling to his feet.

Amazing clarity for a cropped post, fabulous as always EJ.

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

Taking off from the water needs a lot of energy I suppose - with both jets on 100%. Lovely action shot, EJ.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Another excellent shot. Great capture!

I'm with Owd Momma on this one and that is pretty scary Jambo. Title is perfect and it makes me think of the old golf story about hit and drag. "A foursome of old guys that walked and played golf every day were late getting in one day. When asked why it took them so long one of them said "Old Ralph" had a heart attack and died on the second hole." That is terrible. Yes, it was. It was hit and drag the rest of the way." Sorry.
Good post.
Good post.

May you never forget what is worth remembering,
Or remember what is best forgotten.
Awesome! What a powerful wingspan and such a long neck! Perfect capture and composition! Bravo!

..thanking you in advance for your comments. Please know that all your comments are appreciated....." Live well, love much, laugh often!" .... mygallery
I was thinking along the same lines as Patti. It looks like a ballet dancer. I don't know how you get such clarity with it being so heavily cropped. Send me a plane ticket to LA and you can give me lessons. He he.

Another sunny day, but more snow in the next couple of days, pooh
With lift....you must have drag. And with Drag....you have EJ standing by at the ready for a beaufitul, clear and detailed captured. Perfect timing and what a beautiful place to call your office.
