I like how the sharply-focussed egret stands out so well against the background. And then there's the light!

The golden light here is great, Rick, and the Egret taking off creates a fine focal point. This looks like a lovely peaceful morning. I'm not sure what's going on, but there's a pretty dramatic color shift/saturation reduction when I look at the larger version.

I noticed the same thing as Mark. The large view is very nice, Rick. The 720 is much more saturated. Anyway, love the early morning fog and the Egret is a very nice touch.

Excellent foggy shot with a nice warm atmosphere, Rick. The bird was a great bonus! I noticed the smaller version appears over saturated while the large version looks more appropriate. I'm guessing the smaller version has your monitor profile embedded while the larger one is straight rgb.

Gorgeous light, Rick. And the reflections are a plus.
Best,

This is beautiful, Rick! Gorgeous tones (in larger especially), comp and great treatment of the subject. Really cool moment captured in a way that results in a beautiful piece of art.

Gorgeous photo, Rick! I do notice that when I look at the larger image the color is way different then the one I see here.
