Delightful shot Bill of a great looking bird. Only photographed y firs Egret over here last week . I was so chuffed!
Food and waterdrips add another few points to this one !!
Great stuff.

Nice looking image, Bill.
Love the low shooting angle, dripping water and the fish in the beak.
The head turn is ideal.

Good details and whites. Excellent water dropping action. I also like the ripples and bubbles. If a setup I'd have placed the fish with its head towards us (just kidding, I know this is a random occurrence ). Pretty good overall.

The water drops and overall IQ are jus excellent, Bill, a treat to view.
I might be tempted to do a bit of clean up in the water.

Exposure is perfect and you have a dreamy BG.
Love the head turn and the water droplets.
Only way to improve on this wonderful shot would be to have the fish facing our way.

Thank you all. I agree about the fish. This was taken a few years back, and I hadn't yet trained my team of Egrets to flip the fish around.

This works.
Perfect for me.
POV, light, colours, BG. Superb Bill!
