Peter,

The natural setting is nice and I think the distant water in the background adds to the marshy look. The lift off pose is also nice. It looks as though your focus was on the tip of the wing in the back because it looks in focus while the rest of the egret does not which unfortunately means the face is soft. The image also seems dark.

I am still working out how to post from Photo Shop and have made a few adjustment to the photo. Thank you all for the feed back.

Peter, the repost looks better in terms of brightness.

Agree the repost looks better. Detail in the whites on the top of the wings is not there. Just a reminder that it is encouraged that you post 5 comments on other peoples images for every image you post. That's how this site works to encourage participation and growth. Thank you. Keith
