Thanks, Jay. This was shot handheld. Yeah, that Tokina is a fine lens. A few years ago, I had a Pentax A 400/5.6 lens. I have found the Tokina to be a pretty similar performer (closer focusing, by far) in a much more compact and usable package.

Re: PESO - Great Egret
Ahh Had a go at the same species in Assateague Nat'l park in 2004. Makes me appreciate your shot all the more. Great portrait. I suppose some would find the background distracting, but I think it's ok. Makes it more real life to me.

You've managed to not blow out the highlights on an entirely white bird without using artificial lighting aids. In addition using a 400mm lens hand held , this image shows no camera movement what so ever and has nearly perfect focus and DOF. I hate you.
