Nice sharp shot with good feather detail. I wonder if this would be a stronger shot without the reflection?

The pastel green water offers a nice canvas for this Egret Jerry. Nice job with the exposure and excellent detail in the bird, and the comp works well for me as posted.

Nice, Jerry. Good pose and interesting reflections of vegetation in the water.

A nice Snowy, Jerry. I wonder if it would be stronger in a vertical crop?
