I think you did a good job of balancing the highlight and shadowed areas of the whites on this Egret.  I don't see anything that's blown out.  Nice wing position and placement of the bird in the image is just where it should be.

Nice, Peter.  I like the landing position and the raised wings and the exposure looks spot on in this one.  Excellent detail and a pleasing composition.

This is my favorite of the bunch, Peter!  Excellent capture of the landing action, really good composition and the exposure and focus are right on the money.  Very nice!  devil
