It's beautiful with the backdrop.
congratulations.
Just enough variation in the BG to add interest, although there may be a very faint cloning spot above the egret (more visible when scroll the image up and down). Worth smoothing out. Good wings-down pose, and the whites look great to me.
Looks great against that background. Nice detail on the bird.
The bird looks great, details and tones very good, (once I noticed the blemish in the sky it kept drawing my attention).
These guys are common seemingly everywhere, but i never get tired of them. Love the colors here, and you really nailed the exposure and detail. I would clone out the reflected second catchlight in the eye. Just enough of the far wing to give the image some depth of field. Bravo.
