like this one Gary(I'm in Louisiana) :D
The dip down and clean habitat scream at me for a more spacious image.....I just see more space in my mind's eye. Not a nit, but I see a beautiful spacey calm lake with the egret and branch a bit up and to the right

that said, the exposure is very nice

I like it also Gary. The lighting and exposure are great.

Would really like to see some selective sharpening to the face and head.

Okay hope you dont mind some mild USM and a repost.

Robert thanks -that's a cool trick. It looks great. I have to work on my PS skills.

Glad you like it. Wasnt sure if you would think the sharpening was too strong. The detail is there and is all yours, I just let it shine through :)
