Your great Egret shots are really getting excellent, Peter.  The exposure and detail in the plumage are excellent.  My only nit is that the bird is just a bit past you so it's kind of flying away.  That can work, particularly as part of a sequence, but I do prefer having them flying toward me a bit.  The view of the upper wings is great.

Good detail and exposure on the whites.

Good on the whites, well detailed for the Great Egret. I would crop a little from the left and add an equal amount on the right.cool

Nice detail and exposure.  Consider adding canvas on the right to decenter?

Thanks for the comments.  I opened up the frame and changed it to a 16 by 9.
