Free Photo Competition 2018 Week 18 : Entry Number 1

Photographers Comment

I'm Karen Kraco, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States. Thank you for the recognition. This was taken at a heron rookery in my neighborhood, on the Mississippi River. I was mainly focusing on great blue herons when this egret landed. I was glad to quickly capture this brief, beautiful moment, but as can sometimes happen, I wish the shot were technically better. I'm relatively new to photography. I picked up a camera a couple years ago because I needed to get some shots for newspaper work - I'm a writer - and haven't put it down since.
