Sue,

I like seeing the spoonbills in the background and the stance of the egret. I feel it was a little unfortunate that the egret's bill crossed the tail of the spoonbill on the right because it makes the egret's bill a little harder to see, not a huge deal though. I might decrease the overall saturation a small amount as some of the reds are out of gamut. I like the squiggly reflections of the spoonbills and the ripples on the water. The egret might need a little more selective sharpening.

Sue, I agree with Mia's technical suggestions, but this image really makes me smile. I live in Florida, and this is just like a postcard. Really nice.

I love the reflections, but agree...just a little oversaturated. Sharon

Sue, I like the variety of poses here. Pretty tough to get all three birds sharp but you did quite well. Agree that the saturation seems high.
