I was shooting the storm, trying to catch the lightening, when the egret flew across as I clicked the shutter. One of those cool accidents. Now if I could find out how to add the lightening, I'd have it all.

Topaz Layers:
- portrait drama preset (greenery masked to 50% )
- custom exposure setting for the sky
- noise reduction

The egret positioned himself perfectly for you! Nice light touch with the topaz - suits this well.

Well, the original is pretty spectacular, but this takes the prize.
those forbidding clouds, eerie light and the pristine egret whites
make this a strong keeper.

for some reason this reminds me of the time a friend was showing off a pretty lake/reservoir. I asked if swimming was allowed. Her "no, this is a town water source" answer was accompanied by a great white egret suddenly taking off at one end of the lake. He flew the length of the water, pooping all the way.
