The lazy wing-beat of the Great Egret was well captured. I like the oblique flight path showing upper and lower wing surfaces – so much better than a side-on or direct over-head shot of this bird. Detail in the light and darker regions is excellent with nicely managed graduations. David

A nice shot with the egret coming towards you.

A very nice angle, Peter, and your focus and exposure look very good.

Very pleasing in-flight shot. Good color balance. I like the wing position.
