Oh common... isn't it obvious he walked out and placed a fake bird prop in the middle of that marsh and then waited for sunset.

Kidding... :-)

AWESOME shot. You just never know when some creature is going to inadvertently change your composition for the better.

thanks everyone for your nice comments, this photo actually won a photo of the month competition cross the entire Travelpod community when I posted it as part of a travel blog when visiting Kruger National Park, South Africa. It was shot in rapid-mode so obviously chose the picture just before the bird hit the water. The bird really did glide in so slowly and gracefully.

It's a great composition, and worthy of the prize.
Greetings.
