Thanks for comments

Love the light, position, background and HA.

Dark background isolates the subject perfectly.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Wing position, sharpness, head turn and BG look very good. The whites underneath the near wing look quite bright and I might lighten the shadow on the far wing.

[Doug Brown]

To what Axel said, I would add that I'd move the bird slightly to the right in the frame.

[Adams Serra]

Nice wing position, the bird realy pops against that dark BG

[Stu Bowie]

Good sharp detail Arash, and I like the angle of flight. The egret stands out very well against the darker BG.

Elegant posture and subject. The BG really pops the egret. Repost looks just right with regard to HL. Very nice, Arash.
