This Great Egret (breeding plumage) was captured at a local pier, hand held using portrait orientation. I like how it turned out.

I love the perfectly symmetrical down-the-barrel look on the face, combined with the ever so-slight twist of the body. Good call on the vertical, but I think it needs even more room above and below as the comp is tight as is. A fun image nonetheless.
I like it....Yes a wee bit more room on top.....Apart from that all looks good to me Paul.

Thanks Daniel and Will...appreciate the feedback. Added some canvas all around...better?
Yes...better..and more pleasing to the eye....

The repost was much needed and is much better but for the water pattern mismatch on the left frame-edge about level with the subject's feet.

Thanks Artie, and yes to the "mismatch".
Ardea Alba is the Latin name.
A very memorable image, Paul! The green lores really crack in the gray surrounds. Report looks much better with more room above and below.
Thanks Dorian...✌
