Minimal in the sense of a solid background. Hope if fits the bill somewhat.

The bird in flight is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Wayne, the bird in flight is absolutely stunning. I love the light shining through its feathers and the wing positions. I'm not sold on the inclusion of the bottom egret. No one else has mentioned this, however, so it must only bother me!

Just beautiful against the dark BG. The warm light on the wings is just fantastic.

Wayne, I came back to this one many times before commenting. There were two reasons I kept returning -One reason is because it is a top shelf shot. Reason two is I could not make up my mind on the bird at the bottom. Usually I figure if it is there I leave it but in this case I would have removed it. Just my opinion on a really super shot. There are not many images that I would consider buying but this is one.

Nice capture. The top bird could easily stand alone.
