I like the side-lighting on this beautiful bittern, as it makes the bird almost 3D. Shot with the Sigmonster + Sigma 2x TC (1600 mm) from about 30 m, the intense concentration of the bird as it awaits for prey, in the middle of nicely out-of-focused water plants, allowed this shot to squeeze into the magic circle.

Fantastic photo Romy ! Very sharp and yet you somehow feel the softness of the feathers and hair.
