Snowy Egret at High Island by jamibann

Snowy Egret at High Island

Paid a visit to the Rookery at High Island today too. I really need a bigger lens .... that was my finding! I was seriously out-lensed down there! Had a really interesting time though.
Oh my. Issi. The shadows, the light, the composition! This is such a beautiful capture. Thanks for sharing your talent!!

Ha! that's how I feel when I go to the wetlands but I honestly don't think I could carry around those big guys! Great capture of nest building!

Spectacular, and perfect decision to use monochrome. Lovely!

Looks like it's building a nest with the twig in its mouth. Good capture.

Exquisite capture--the position of the bird is so graceful and the light is so beautiful--has to be a fav for me.

FAV!! This is just amazing! Took the kids to the river yesterday and there was a guy shooting fledgling bald eagles with a 600mm telephoto lens. I had MAJOR lens envy!! I started talking shop with him and he let me look through the viewfinder at the eagle… pretty amazing stuff!

Beautiful Issi, just has to be a fav.........I am with you on lens envy, so want to have a day with one of those bad boys....maybe I will hire one for a week :)

What marvelous treatment of this composition! It is fabulous - did get tickled with your comments about the big lenses - that's how I felt when I went to Maroon Bells in Colorado. Never saw so many huge lenses in one place before.

This is fantastic! I can't believe you were out-lensed with a 300mm?? Crazy!
