Egret In The Evening
This past Tue. night the sun was still out but starting to set when I saw this great egret fishing patiently in the marsh pond. The sun was almost directly behind the bird so I purposely exposed for a silhouette. The colors of the water were not created later in any kind of post processing…that is how it really looked!Â
That’s a beautiful shot Phil!
Thanks Adrian I appreciate it!

Another good one! 🙂
great wildlife with an artistic interpretation – sublime
I appreciate you looking and commenting Scott, thanks.
Light is truly remarkable in all its forms.
Well sometimes it works out to our advantage other times not but we try to make the best of it in all cases. 🙂
The light is fantastic Phil.
Thanks very much Jan, happy you like it.
I live the variation in color on water. Really beautiful shot.
Thanks much Edith I appreciate you checking it out!
Surrealistic! The colors and all that nice rippled water make a great contrast for the silhouette..or vice versa.
Thank you for your kind comments Steve and glad you enjoyed this photo.
I’ve picked up that hint of pink in some of the wave shots I’ve taken and marveled at it. Beautiful shot, Phil.
Although I have seen this sort of pink/purple tint to water reflections at the marsh before (such as the trailing line this skimmer left) I am not 100% sure why it ends up looking that way with that color. But I like it when I see it. Thanks Gunta.

Awww.. thank you! You took me back to one of my very favorite shots of yours! Love those sparkles and even the mysterious pink.
What a stunning shot, Phil! Love the reflection and the light – like the shot of the swan. How do you do it?!!
Thanks a bunch Maggie, so glad you enjoyed this photo! Sometimes the light and subject matter cooperate and gives my a nice view! 🙂
Hello Phil,
what was the color of the sky, wenn the water are so unusual colored, or is it something in the water which makes the color?
Great contrast, great work!
Wish you a nice day,
moni
It was prior to sunset so the sky had not yet turned gold or orange so I’m thinking it has something to do with the water and the way the sunlight reflects off of it.
Thanks very much moni!
Amazing. Simpy amazing.
I’m so happy you like it, thanks!
Amazing silhouette! 🙂
Thanks very much I appreciate you looking and commenting!
I love this one Phil
I’m happy you like it I almost didn’t post it but glad I did.
Yes it does, what a stunning silhoutte.
Thanks very much Emily.
That’s beautiful, and I love that purple tint on the water!
Thanks very much, it is interesting how the water takes on that color and I don’t know exactly what causes it.
