Very nice take off pose and exposure control. I only wish he would have flown more toward you. There is a slight sharpening halo around legs and bill.

I was just thinking the same as Axel. I really like the pose and colors...... just wish for a turn of the head and no halos. Good job getting out there and finding some nice birds.

[Dave Phillips]

nice capture Bill, few sharpening halos as noted, but I see a definite overall blue/cyan cast here.
Does this look different to you? Did an overall white balance and left a little warmth in the egret

[Bill Foxworthy]

Sorry, missed the posts. Thanks for the comments and the rework looks about the same to me. Early yet so may be different later. Thanks bf

[Mike Milicia]

Great job on the exposure and managing to catch the action !

Agree about the head position. Whites look better in repost.

[Bill Foxworthy]

Here is my adjustment for youe consideration. I set the White Balance point using the curves adj and also reduced contrast a little to my taste.
Thanks

Good work on the repost, Bill. The look and feel of the image improved greatly.

I here head turns are in CS4. Other than that, nice image. Reposts are better.
