I captured this image during my most recent trip to Ft. De Soto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. I was on the beach near the roped off area opposite parking lot #6. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Pretty nice pose and light and I love the water drops falling. HA works as the bird looks very focused. Detail looks good too. Maybe a bit more room on the right. TFS
Nice shot, Joe. Detail looks fabulous and I think your rendering of tone and colour looks great too. I don't know this bird but I have seen our local egrets doing that sort of thing and you've captured that very well. Maybe you have a few more frames with the spectacle of the egret pouncing? Composition works well for me.
