A close, vertically oriented shot shows a large white egret posed at the edge of some water so that its reflection is visible in the water. The egret takes up the upper left quadrant of the shot. The bird stands tall, its feathery white body forming an elegant curve. Its neck is bent down, bringing the bird's head in front of its body and giving it a swan-like elegance. The bird's long, spear-like beak is a bright yellow, almost neon in its intensity. Its black legs can be seen beneath its body. Behind the bird, the edge of the water is a riot of various plants, including ferns, leaves, and some small grasses. The edge of the bank is covered in fallen, dead brown leaves, giving the scene a natural, somewhat swampy feel. The whole scene is reflected in the still surface of the water. The reflection is clear, so it's as if there are two egrets, one above the water and one below. The lighting in the scene is somewhat dappled, leaving a dark forest-like vibe. The contrast between the white bird and the darker surroundings is quite striking.
