Egret And Cottonwood

The egret was flying around Kingfisher Pond when I was out-n-about taking some landscape photos. Something spooked her (probably me) and she flew across my field of view enroute to the other side of the pond. I wish I had been a bit quicker and gotten her entering the frame instead of leaving it, but I'll take what I can.

  For a subject in motion, it actually adds a little dynamic tension to have it exiting the frame. Love the colors and reflection too!
