warren lloyd, Great Egrets (ANIMALS 2022)

Great Egrets are extremely graceful and elegant birds that I've been photographing for a while at a nearby wetland. On this morning there was heavy fog prior to sunrise, and the birds looked almost mystical in the pre-dawn light. The image has some deliberate motion blur and grain because I really wanted to capture the almost dreamlike scene.
