Taken At Ding Darling, This Egret became very excited for a moment, and was jumping maybe 5 feet in the air. I added canvas to the bottom and cloned out a horizontal band/sandbar near the top.

Great image. Lots to like. maybe just a tad soft on the wings.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice wing and leg position and good head angle. Light is a tiny bit harsh.

[Shawn Zierman]

Beautiful flight pose and you are smack on the light angle...nicely done. The egret looks very nice against the blue hues in the background. The slight merge of the bill with the wing is not ideal imo....Overall, a lovely image sir.

love the light and landing pose, BG is nice too. details look soft to my eye, maybe more sharpening would help

You've captured th emoment of the 'jump' beautifully Robert.
The colours look nice and gentle and your cloning looks fine, but as Arash said, th eoverall image does look a bit lacking in sharpness.

[adrian dancy]

The wings are a little soft. Image design is good.

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Nice moment captured. Face sharp but agree - a bit of sharpening and perhaps a tad of midtone adjustment should bring out more depth & detail.

[David Salem]

Nice looking landing pose and I like the HA and the wing position. The bird looks great against that light blue BG with it's contrasting colors. I think another round of sharpening is all it needs. Well done

[Daniel Cadieux]

The face itself looks very sharp to me, it's the rest of the body that could use some more sharpening for web presentation. Great blues om the BG, and I like the fully outstretched pose.
