A lone egret hunts the flats of the Indian River off Biolab Road at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Not much more to be said about this shot, except maybe, that it was the only image I got on Biolab Road this year 🙂
Canon SX40HS at 840mm equivalent field of view. f5.8 @ 1/800th @ ISO 100. Program with iContrast and –1/3EV exposure compensation.
Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
I love going to Merritt Island to watch the birds (and gators). It’s such a relaxing spot.
Nice capture of the egret and it’s reflection. I’m always amazed at how they can stand forever in one spot watching the water.
