Like a cat about to pounce…
Please click the image to view a larger version.
I made this image during my visit to Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
Just a reminder that I have very limited internet access this week but I have scheduled these images to go up on the blog for you to enjoy.
Nice one Anne! Didn’t know you had a 400mm.. I’m from Florida but was not into photography then. Have to get back there one of these days..Thanks for sharing, Steve
Hi again Steve, I rented the 400 when I was in Florida last year. It’s a fabulous place for wildlife!! Loved it.
I am interested in purchasing the Egret photo “like a cat about to pounce”.
Please advise the price and how to process the payment.
Thank you,
Dianne
Hello Dianne,
Thank you for your interest in my egret image! I am so far behind in updating the images in my store. I just uploaded it for you. It is in the “animals” folder. Here is a direct link:

It’s at the very bottom of the page. You just add it to your cart and then you can see the various prints and products that are available. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Beautifully done, Anne. Your DOF really adds a lot to this shot. Very nice!!
I think this is my favorite of the many excellent images you’ve posted over the last few months. The reflected vegetation is amaaazing.
Cool image Anne, good work once again!
Thank you very much Alan, your comments really mean a lot to me.
Beautiful image Anne. Lovely light and colors and nice job on the exposure.
Thank you very much Jay. It’s always hard to make a white bird come out white and not grey, so I really appreciate the compliment on the exposure and colours.
Sorry to do the camera geek thing again, but what focal length did you use?
Anytime Steve, I do like camera geeks 🙂 I took this with a 400mm prime lens. ISO400, f/5.6, 1/1000 second.
This is a great shot. I love the out-of-focus greenery in the reflection. A nice contrast to the bird itself. Gives it an almost 3-D effect.
Thank you very much Steve! Yes, that green reflection of the mangroves made up for not getting the perfectly still water. I took this only 5 minutes after the egret with the perfect reflection. That’s the difference between 6:25am and 6:30am!
Beautiful Anne. Hope you are enjoying Texas
Hi Len, I am loving Texas!! Big Bend is fantastic. It’s just like a western movie out here. All dry and hot and cactuses and canyons. I’ve read some people’s reviews who thought it was hell, but I love it. It’s beautiful. Oh, and there are scary little hairy pig like creatures with giant teeth!! A dog was attacked by one, and I was growled at (seriously scary, it was in the bushes so I only heard it, sounded real angry) but I haven’t managed to photograph one. They are called “javalinas” (haa-va-lina)
