I'm excited to post my first entry into one of these contests. So many great photos submitted to far. I'm submitting at the Amateur level.
This photograph was taken early one morning on Assateague Island, Virginia of a Snowy Egret. I sat quietly all morning watching these beautiful birds through the lens of my camera. There were dozens of them fishing in a small stretch of canal. They are move so slowly and deliberately it's almost hypnotic.
