This is a fine example of the final scene not at all as you first saw the scene. When I first approached the dock at Alligator Lake, I saw this egret and got the camera out and ready. Getting closer, with eye to viewfinder, I composed this one frame before the egret flew away.
The tiny screen did not reveal the missing foot. That was only discovered when going through the downloaded photographs on the computer. This has happened before. Once, there was a deer seen hiding in the underbrush, not noticed at the time of exposure.
These are the happy discoveries that keep photography interesting. It often is not the best of composed, the most thought out frames that get the attention, are the keepers. Often, the rejected frame becomes the framed frame. And so it is with us.
