Well done image with a great pose of the Cattle Egret and a very interesting perch, with no distractions. Clear blue sky really sets off the white egret and the greens of the branch. I agree with Peter about cropping some from the right.

I like the pose, sharpness, details and perch tip. I tried a vertical version for fun and liked it. Nice image Joe.

A bit too much space at right, and not enough above IMO, but I like the concept, colours, sharpness. The whites look great too.

Nice image and well exposed whites on the Egret. I agree about the too much space on the right and not much above. But that should be an easy fix.
