    Just a great egret in some nice light with a little action while out this evening with a couple friends. (My idea of a great Saturday night.)

    Grace I like the light and the eel in the mouth. I do find the two wet feathers (?) at the tail end distraction however.

    Great light and moment captured. I wish for a bit better head angle and would remove the sheen on the bird's left leg.

    Nice EXP, framing, sharpness, and light. DItto Axel on the head angle... Moving a bit to your right might have helped there...

    Lovely capture Grace and the lighting is wonderful. I agree a little more head turn would strengthen this image. Excellent exposure and ccomposition and the eel is a great bonus. Many thanks for sharing .
