Description
When I was in southern California, I spent a lot of time riding my bike down the path along the Santa Ana River. Quite a ways upriver, there were always flocks of egrets wading, feeding, or just resting. I was just about to be on my way and this one took off just below me.

Hey great capture, love the way you left plenty of room for him/her to fly.
Great shot.:)
And we have lift off, firing thrusters #1 and #2 and now #3. Cool Shot of a Gull that is Able!!!!
the composition is all water and open space, and the bird is in bright whites & grainy blues, and those blues harmonize with the water & the grain makes him seem made of air as much as of body, which suits his flight head on. A nice looming pov, restful too, and it feels very painterly. (Poor joke: A biologist who studied egrets all his life was asked if he liked his work, and he said: "Hey, I got no egrets!") (sorry...)
Well caught for an inpromtu shot, these muvas are quite fast once they get aloft, so I'd say you did a great job!.
Has someone upset Ronnie? having a go at Canon's and Nikon's lol.#;0) Excellent capture Marylin, I can just see you pedalling along the riverbank, your Fuji swinging from your neck, a screech of brakes camera to eye snap one off. Sometimes I wish I could still ride a bike as I used to like cycling along the canal bank. since I had my knee cap removed I cannot do a full turn of the pedals with my right leg. It just won't bend enough. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
A lovely peaceful pic!
Wonderful compo Marilyn - I like the openess he is flying into!!! Great catch! :)
Up, up and away!!
Wonderful sense of flight and openness ahead; great shot, especially for a quick-grab one!
super peaceful picture
Has he filed his flight pattern? Wonderful movement you have captured.
They do have a most interesting appearance in flight. Not very graceful getting off the water/ground but with long legs trailing behind, they have a wonderful grace about them.
Super capture!
