About this work
Great egret (Ardea alba) fishing during a foggy day at Champ-Pittet, Switzerland. Exceptional weather circumstances with no wind and the presence of fog were needed to take this picture. The absence of wind allowed to have a perfect water reflection while the presence of fog allowed to have perfect colorless clean water instead of having the sky and vegetation reflecting their colors in the water. Image rotated 90 degrees to the left to better highlight the bird's perspective and the reflection on the water's surface.
