A snowy egret from the Dallas rookery. I like the wing feather detail on this one. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Gorgeous light and the feather detail in the wings is awesome. You might bring out a tad more detail in the body and head, if you can. It looks as if you should have it.

Very nicely done Jerry! Great wingspread and like the soft light. If mine, I might be tempted to bring up the shadows a touch, especially under the wings. Still nice work Jerry!

Great light on the bird - tough shadows under the wings, but I bet you could reduce the shadows.
Really nice image!

Great wingspan Jerry and I like the clean blue sky on this. The detail is very sharp and the headturn adds too. Nice catch!

Excellent job on the exposure, wing position, detail. The lighting on this is really pleasing. I think the shadows on the wings are quite nice in the larger image.

A nice angelic pose here, Jerry. I must say I like the tonal variations in the bird, with the body and head popping in the sunlight compared to the wings.
