    A work of art, Frank. A striking Egret to begin with, outstanding light quality and detail, a complimentary gray BG, gives this beauty tremendous depth.

    Frank:

    Reds are one of my favorite birds, had one as my avatar for a long time. Nice POV, their classic intense gaze. The soft light has allowed a great sense of texture and depth to the image.

    In a perfect world, would prefer a somewhat end angle on the wings, so they showed more of the wings.

    Nice splash, helps with the action.

    Cheers

    Great action with the water droplets from the trailing foot, lovely detail and sharpness.

    Very nice Frank!
    I love it when reddish egrets do " the dance".
    Tack sharp, good IQ.

    A really excellent image Frank. I like the soft light, the intense pose of the bird, the detail and the movement of the bird through the water.

    Well done mate, TFS
