Ed, I really like how this is centered with the tree and the egret and of course those reflections. =^..^= sandi ♪

Wonderful composition to me Ed. The huge cypress is a perfect background for the great egret. Love its reflections in the dark water too.
Very good post, my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.

It looks almost as though the egret is posing in front of the huge tree. Good reflections too. Very nice image, Ed.

My bizarre mind sees an egret about to be stepped on by a huge elephant. LOL. Gorgeous work, Ed. I love the reflections.

JimboB is right about the elephant Huck. How great to be in the right place at the right time and have your camera. One of your very finest and that takes in some territory.

I agree with Tigger! Your centering and those reflections make this an interesting piece of art! The mirror image of the tree and egret is just superb! Nicely done! :)Ami

Love it! That's a big tree to make the egret look so small... Quiet and lovely.

What a big old cypress tree! How much did you pay that Egret to be centered in the middle so perfectly?
Wonderful capture Ed!
