Great Egret coming in for a landing.

Beautiful! I would suggest to take a smidge of the top and right otherwise excellent!

[Juan Aragonés]

Excelent. I subscribe Krijn´s comments on composition. BTW you forget to add the technical details of the image

[Lori A. Cash]

Very nice capture. Love the lighting and action.

[KK Hui]

Well framed and timed, David!
I see slight green cast ...

[Wayne Nicholas]

I agree with the crop suggestion. I also see a slight green cast in the whites. Easily checked and remedied in editing s/w.

That said, lovely shot. It's got a very soft feel to it with the subtle hues in the sky. Well done.

[Dave Phillips]

I like crop as is David, nice comp

[David Hemmings]

Wonderful pose and composition and a cool soft feel, other nits mentioned:)

[Lance Warley]

Beautiful, especially the details on the bird.

[Alan Melle]

Quite a beautiful image! Great light and composition and excellent sharpness.

[D. Robert Franz]

Agree with the above posters. Very nice image for sure....

[Vincent Grafhorst]

Lovely photo David. I do not agree with above crop suggestions to me its fine as presented. Certainly don't crop from the right since the wing will be too close to the edge.

[Alfred Forns]

Crop wise is a mater of taste I have to go with the image as presented I like the gradient upper bg and cropping would loose it It seems to add to the mood !!! I like it a lot !!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

If you have it I would actually add a tiny bit back to the bottom as I find the cut leaves would look nicer with a clean uncut finish instead (or at the very least clone out those cut leaves). Otherwise magnificent image, the side lighting works very well here!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the timing,,light and the details!

[Svetoslav Spasov]

Wow, that’s good. Good details and colors.

[Glenn Bartley]

Very pleasing image. Great pose BG, perch and moment captured. Awesome!

[David Chauvin]

Thanks for the input everyone. Cropping is always very subjective. I didn't want to lose the gradient up top, so I left it a little loose all around. I'll tweak the color a bit before printing. Thanks again as the input is always appreciated.

Regards,,,,,,David

[Philip Pietri]

Simply a gorgeous shot as posted - no nits.

[Fabs Forns]

Stunning as presented, David. I wouldn't crop at all, the gradient is part of the charm. Did you use an artistic filter for extra definition? It sort of looks unreal for a photo.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great timing and pose. I would crop a tad off the top and add a bit to the bottom so the leaves are not clipped.

[Caroline Darmo]

Stunning image, I wouldn't take anything off the top, maybe add a little on the bottom if you have it. I love the composition, the light & the background. Looks like a painting, beautiful.

this is one of the best images of white egrets !!!
the timing, exposure, sharpness and the soft light are just marvelous!
the framing is very well too.
