Gorgeous breeding plumaged Great Egret! I love the lime lores. Good pose with a perfect head angle. Very nice hue to the sky's blues. The main plant has pretty cool glossy leaves and fresh-looking greens, but I wish it was not so big as it does compete with the egret for attention.

I agree with Daniel there on this one but a grand shot all in all. Maybe a tiny bit big in the frame but no big deal. A real eye catcher.

Stuart:

Excellent bird, very handsome.

Agree about the large plant on the right. Could try cropping off a bit of it to reduce its impact.

Cheers
