A very fortunate capture!

Seems like sometimes you try with little results, and other times you hit the jackpot with less effort. This was the case for the following capture as we were preparing to leave the Viera wetlands in Florida. We were running behind and decided to visit the wetlands at the last minute and had to backtrack about fifteen miles or so, and were almost finished and on our way home. That's when I saw this beautiful Great Egret, and made a quick stop, grabbed the camera, which had the telephoto lens closed to its lowest setting. Even then I was not able to fit the entire bird into the frame, so I turned the camera vertical, focused, clicked, and we were on our way. I viewed the shot that night and was very surprised and did virtually nothing in post processing.

Maybe we overthink things when we aren't rushed. Whatever the case, your instincts took over on this one and you have a real winner. Lovely shot!
