    Hi Allen, great flight pose with the raised wings, and overall good detail and tack sharp. The Egret certainly pops from the darker BG. Im not on my home monitor, but I am seeing a slight blue cast in the whites.

    Very nice. Looks like you caught this guy in breeding plumage here. Love the wings up pose.

    Beautiful scene here. Exposure looks great and the feather detail is really nice. Would want a bit more head turn for maximum engagement, but the action pose is so good it really doesn't much matter.

    Very nice pose and love the way the bird looks against the dark background. Nice details as well. I agree with Stu, the bird has a slight blue cast. Wish the head angled 5 degrees towards us instead of away from us.
