Sandy, I love the lifted foot. Very sharp image and nice setting, in the water.

I really like the light on this snowy Egret.  It really pops well.  Terrific pose with the raised foot.   I like the mirroring of the yellow on the foot against the yellow on the eye.  Nice placement of the bird in the frame.

Really nice Sandy. Everything works here. Love that raised leg and the water bg. Processing of the white looks great too. Looks like a nice day for a stroll down the beach.

Lovely, Sandy.  I like the blue water as a bg for the Snowy.  The lifted foot is just perfect.

Nice image Sandy. I liek your decision for a vertical because it alwasy emphasizes the length of the neck in these birds. I also like the raised foot and alert pose. Nice work!
