I was at the rookery at Gatorland yesterday. Leaving, walking along the boardwalk I captured this egret climbing above the trees. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice sharpness, and I like the hint of clouds at the bottom of the frame. I wish more of the bird had caught some direct sunlight instead of just the far wing. Also the head is angled slightly away from us; a slight head turn towards us would have strengthened the image.
Hi Doug, thanks for responding, commenting and your suggestions for improvements. I probably picked the wrong image for posting after reading your comments and suggestions. Here is another from that series. I believe the light is better on the bird, just not sure regarding the far wing position. Thanks again.
