I like the pose, with dangling feet, canted wings, head clear of the wing. Crop is effective.
I like the trees in the background to give it depth. Wish however that the big clump wasn't right behind his back end. Just personal taste.
Cheers

Hi Joseph,
I like this look of the egret all splayed out and coming at us. The trees help with the perspective of the shot as Randy states.

I really love this frame, the colours and the diagonal shape of the bird just tops it.
Well done mate!

Really like that blue/green background. Nice flight pose on the bird as well.

the focus and DOF are perfect . Very nice position on both wings
I think you need more space below....
