Good classic pose of this famous bird. On my monitor it looks like it needs more contrast and is not showing any detail on the bill. If mine I'd probably also remove the 3 bright spots on top of the bird. Thank you for sharing John.
This reddish egret must be the most photographed bird in Florida!
Agree with Juan's critique!

I third Juan's suggestions... other than that a lovely image. The background is wonderful with the distinct foreground, middleground, and background. Thank you for sharing, John.

Always nice to see Big Red doing his thing. Wish I were there. Juan's observations are spot on.
Contrast looks fine to me. A 25% Linear Burn on the light tones of the bill would likely help. Well done classic pose. I love the light grey median underwing coverts.
