Hi Peter, I like the breeding colours on the lores, and the Egret pops against the darker BG. I'm not sure about your crop. The way I see this is, either you crop to achieve a portrait of the head a bit of the wing, or your crop to show the whole subject. Here you have a 'three quarter' subject which doesnt work for me.

The pose on the bird is nice and i like the breeding color on the lore. Bird really pops against that dark background.

Thank you Art, much appreciate your edit and helpful comments. The improved image looks much better with the cropping, lighting and selective sharpening.
I looked at the morph Reddish Egret you mentioned and the lore colors are similar, the colors are reversed with the purple being closer to the eye. Nature is wonderful!
I will definitely post some of the other egrets from here. Northern NSW Australia.
The image was created this month, December on the 12th 2018.

YAW Peter. Do you ever get to the northwestern coast of Australia to photograph the shorebirds in spring plumage??? (I just learned that the Gold Coast is on the opposite side of the country ...)

Hi Art,
Not so lucky, but love to get there.
It is approx 5,000kms or 3106 miles away. The Kimberley Coast would be awesome.
