16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Snowy Egret in Clear Water

I walked along the beach of Playa Larga towards a group of birds in order to take a photograph. Eventually, I saw this lonely Egret to the left, perhaps fishing, carefully stepping towards a deeper section. I saw the beautiful reflection he cast and decided he would make a beautiful subject for a photograph.
