Fantastic interaction and great control of that close background. The HAs are perfect given the interaction. Perhaps you could coax some more detail from the whites on the neck and body. I love it as is though. TFS

Hi Krishna, I like the interaction between the sibling Great Egrets. On my screen the whites appear to lack detail. I think with careful post processing more detail can be brought forth. The background is what is available at Gatorland, most times difficult to get separation from the subject and background. Thank you for sharing.

Great interaction captured. I agree with Joe about the whites.

Wonderful interaction. Agree about the bright whites. Easy fix in PP.
The foliage between the 2 birds is a minor distraction but still a lovely image.

Nice interaction and pose. Some more room above would be nice. Flash looks well balanced.
