Cattle Egret in breeding plumage. Gatorland morning. To crop or not, a good question?

Layton,
Nice light, head angle, and I'm glad to see both feet visible.I am noticing a bit of a halo surrounding the head and back of the egret. Watch out for that is post-processing.
I might suggest cropping just a bit from the top to push the egret's head ever so slightly over the "border" into the top third of the image. Also, you might consider toning down the branch visible at the very bottom of the frame on the intersection of the left and middle vertical thirds. The curled one to the right doesn't bother me, but the one on the left is a little bright.
Nice Legs
