Good job Ivan! I like the compostion and the preening action.

I really like this post. The detail on the egret is sharp. The white/cream details are there and not hot. The turn of the head and eye contact with the bottom corner is nice as well.
The bush at the bottom of the image, for me, creates a very nice atmosphere - as if the viewer and the bird are the only ones around.

Hi Ivan...I see you have a promising future in wildlife photography ahead of you! Nice comp, and excellent exposure. You could probably bump up the saturation on the yellows a bit. A perfect preening pose would have been with the head at least parallel to the camera (here its looking away ever so slightly), but I love your timing with the feathers still in the bill. Keep it up!!:cool:
