The Dancer, Maine
A partially cloudy day and falling tide brought snowy egrets to a tidal bay. Taken with a 500mm Sigma lens on a tripod, I took several pictures of this bird as it came in for a landing. Just at the right moment it passed into the sunlight between the clouds. I spent well over an hour sitting, waiting and shooting before the bird, shadow, and light came together. "Framed 20X16 $200
