Fall colors

surround this great grey egret. I loved the background as much as the bird.
It wasn't as shy as most of them are and he paraded around in secure distance in this nearly totally overgrown 'dead' water.(see the extra if you like) I was happy to have taken for once my 'real' camera with me on the daily walk. I am , as quite often, disappointed by the sharpness of the uploaded picture. It looks perfectly sharp in my IPhoto program.
