Wings of Confidence

Wings of Confidence
by Fenqiang Liu


After several months of photographing Great Egrets, I realized that they always take off with confidence and decisiveness and already know where they will land. This photograph attempted to capture that decisive quality at the precise moment of takeoff. The bird stood on a branch with hanging moss, providing the ideal composition. I just had to wait for the perfect moment when it would spring into flight.
