I love the mood of this shot. My only suggestion would be to consider cloning out the plants in the water in the LR. Don't get me wrong, I would be proud to call this shot mine.

Thanks John and Skip for the comments.
Hi Skip, I completely understand your point and thanks for the feedback. Personally I preferred to keep it as natural as possible :-)

This is very nice and I think a very special image. It's simplistic in many ways due to the very limited tones. But fog does that. You caught the Egret at a perfect moment in the reflection is equally as nice. If I had one criticism, I would probably clone away the branch at the upper left as I think it is a little bit of an eye magnet.

A very nice image. The mood captured is really nice as is the pose of the egret. Nicely done!

A beautiful, serene action shot of this Great Egret, Sandipan! I love the foggy morning (or evening), quiet atmosphere. The large version is espcially nice because it has much more presence. The plants in the bottom right just make it more real for me plus it adds depth to the scene. Gorgeous image! devil

I love the pose, reflection and fog, Sandipan. I do think it might have more impact if you trimmed a bit off the left and top.

Love the dreamy feel to this image Sandipan. The misty conditions along with your timing worked out very well for you, nice work!

I like the foggy blue mood of this Sandipan as well as the feet lifting off with the splash. devil
