This is a wonderful shot of the Snowy Egret. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Many thanks. Framing was a challenge due to the reflection which I wanted to include. Initially, I cropped it below his feet then used PhotoShop brush in some non-reflective water. Didn't really work so I went with this version instead. Lil-Jens (Formerly Deansterz) Changed the name to align with my web site. :)

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that pretty bird and its reflection. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
