Nice details in the feathers of the egret
A little more head turn would be a big help and maybe a vertical crop as the bird is already cropped down
there apears to be a dust spot or smudge in front of the bird
This is a good place to learn and I am sure many more pointers will come your way
Welcome. This is nice and sharp but with the bird's head turned well away from you the image does not grab the viewer's interest. See the thread on Head Angle Police in the Educational Resources Forum.
