I like this 'semi-silhouette' image. Not only is the light beautiful I also like how it shines through the far wing. I'm not so sure about the wing position of the near wing.

Nice comp, warm light coming through the wing feathers looks good. Looks a little dark on my monitor, might need a little lift but I'm on a laptop at the moment so it could be my end...

Nice work.

Its a beautiful picture with a nice BKGR. Liked the composition very much and the very fact that wings are giving a silky feeling.

[Paul Marcellini]

I really like the almost silhouette as well. For me the front wing works because its lighter than the body and stands out. The color in the background ain't bad either.

The color Manos is gorgeous as is the composition, the trailing legs do it.

Really like the water color and the composition. The translucent far wing makes the image for me.

[Steve Maxson]

The semi-silhouette, the pose, the sharpness, and the background color combine to make this a striking image, Manos.

[Stu Bowie]

The light shining through the outer wing makes this special, and the amazing colour of the water just adds up to make this an exceptional image. Well captured Manos.

I love this one! But IMO I wish for a better wing position and I would've darkened the Egret a bit more. Big congratulaitons still as the shot is great!
