Bird in the Water

So, I decided to take a break today, and go on a "Nature Walk", and saw this White Egret standing in the water (I think s/he was Fishing).

The first shot I took was at a proper shutter speed for this type of setting, which "froze" the flowing water, and was much sharper.

But, being that the water was Flowing, I decided to shoot at a much slower shutter speed (I think I shot at ISO 100 1/25 shutter speed) semi hand-held to make the water actually "Flow".

I propped myself and my lens up against a tree to be more stable than just hand-holding (didn't help much LOL), and this is what I came up with...a Semi-Sharp Egret, and Flowing Water.

I hope you like it...I did my Best :-)

    I love it!!!! I much prefer to see water flowing in a photo than blurred to where you do not recognize it. Fantastic job Ahmed : )

    This is very beautiful, Ahmed. I wish I could get my birds as sharp as this one. The water is perfect and looks "alive". Great capture.
