Reflections and egret

As I've said before, you often can't predict the way a watery background will appear when you come to look at your photograph. This is sometimes because the water surface is disturbed and the camera "freezes" it. Or, the reflections seem to be offering simplicity but delivers complexity. This photograph of a little egret at Hartleton Lakes near Ross on Wye is an example of the latter. In fact, the watery background almost reaches a psychedelic quality. Interestingly, none of my other photographs taken before and after this shot has quite this level of kaleidoscopic beauty.
