It was a really hot day...I think it was 101 F. I took this really in a favorite place of mine down near the river. The water the egret is standing in is a borrow pit that has essentially turned into a lake.I sure hope this shot does better than my last so I hope everyone enjoys.

Cool bird! Were you able to move (or zoom) in closer??

Don't mean to be harsh, just writing thoughts:
Looks like you've cropped in tight on this image to get closer to this majestic bird. Which is a good idea, but the artifacting in the water makes it seem like a low resolution image. Nice composition though.
