Cool shot! I really like the mimicking angles between the 2 subjects and the contrast as well….dirty light and pure white. Nicely done Christopher.

Your planning ahead paid of , this is a truly beautiful shot of the snowy egret.

I do appreciate you sharing your experience from the emergency room with us. Very touching as well as food for thought. Although pre planning may be applied to many of life’s situations, it may not always benefit the creative process.

While taking pictures I have a tendency to go with the flow. Even in a working situation I almost never know what to turn my camera on until I stumble on the motive by chance. I do seem to get away with what I intended to get strangely enough.

Hi Kevin–thanks so much for visiting and for your comment. There’s a bit of a crop here but not nearly as much as you’d think given it was taken with an x100. I was fortunate to be right at the base of this light post when this snowy egret took off from his perch atop it. He was only about 15 or so feet above me when the shot was taken. Thanks again! ~C

As a Paramedic, I can relate to your code blue experience!
Interesting photo, given the relationship between the two elements and the focusing, I can only think that (assuming it’s not a composite) you must have cropped the image substantially to arrive at the end result? In any event, it’s a nice image and point about being prepared is a good one.

Amazing post Chris… I can only say it takes an extraordinary person to do what you do… both serving to heal others, and making these brilliantly anticipated images. When going on assignment or out looking for stock images, I always plan ahead, making a detailed shot list. But I can not imagine what it is like holding another soul’s life in my hands.
