Always a plus to get a shot with a pray item being eaten. Fine pose and very nice exposure.
I might ask for a bit more room for the egret to walk into.

[Alan Murphy]

Very nice image. The morsel adds a lot. Might need a slight CCW rotation.

[Arthur Morris]

Great job with the EXP and SH. And the fish is a nice addition. The bird is angled ever so slightly away from you. Yes to the CCW rotation.

[Van Hilliard]

I like the way the bird is set against that darker background. Exposure appears to be right on. I agree that slight rotation would help. I don't see a problem with the space around the bird -- but then I like tight crops.
