A great egret coming in for a landing on a lake in Dallas, Texas. I like the light and the nice wing spread.

Wonderful position and detail. Can't get much better than this.

Nice shot Robert, I really like the wing spread and how the subject stands out from the dark background.

I really like the pose, and you handled the exposure well, also. I see a quite a bit of noise in the bg. Worth removing.

Robert,
I really like the landing pose with the wing spread. Brilliantly done.

Robert, I like your DOF to get this large bird sharp from tip to tip and you caught a nice wing spread. Exposure on the whites mostly looks good. Some light on the face would have been nice (though not essential IMO) and I see the noise mentioned by Wayne.

My critique was going to be very similar to Ron D's. Nice wingspread and I like the feet.
