Excellent choice. The conversion is very well executed and the circles of ripples add a very nice touch to the shot. Great capture to start with and skilled conversion.

Thanks Bruce. "Action and elegance" ..... I think that describes this one beautifully. This if the first photo I have seen of an egret where the surge from the waves as it strides through the water has been so pronounced.

Thanks willard. I have always liked start contrast between light and dark, but this one faded away very nicely in the grey water.

Thank you Sylvia. I agree, Jerry did a great job of capturing this bird "at just the right moment".

Thanks quixdraw. I truly believe this is an "art" form that has been underutilized for too long.

Thanks Geoff. Coming from one who is a master of light in his own respect, I take this compliment close to heart.
