I like the pose and colors, environment is nice too. heavy NR has annihilated all the details giving the image a paintery look. I wish you had more eye contact

Hello Arash, spot on with your comments. The image was a grab shot without much time for planning or thinking. As I worked on the image it grew on me, liking the landing pose and environment.

Joseph, I wish I had more Egret shots taken in a nice environment like this, Nice position and open wings, I agree it could have better eye contact.
