Thanks, Ann.

Yes, he was moving, at a relatively brisk pace, looking for insects.

The image was taken in Kihei, Maui, just off Keawekapu Beach, while we
were watching the sunset, which is a traditional activity on he West
coasts of Maui and the Big Island.

I'm with Paul on the crop (you're not surprised, right?)
The exposure, color nice.. what was a bit odd was how very sharp all the
green is around him and yet feathers on his body aren't.. was
he moving just a bit?

Was this NJ shore or Hawaii?

Thanks for looking and commenting, JC, Paul and Jack.

JC, I used my K-r, with t DA 18-135 f3.5-5.6 lens.  Paul, I played
around with different crops, but I liked this best, even though I
anticipated that others would think it should be less centered.  I
guess it's my rigid personality.  Perhaps I'll call it my "style," and
pretend it's an artistic judgment.  <G>  Jack, yes, the color was
there.  the shot was taken around sunset, which accented and slightly
tinted the color.  Although some cattle egrets are all white, many
have yellowish to rose markings on the head, back and chest:

Really nice exposure, Dan. Was that rose-purple (?) color there when you
shot this? Have never seen such on any egrets in my memory.
