I like the well exposed egret, raised foot, angle in frame. I really like the dramatic waves in the background, but my try a version with the breaker right behind the bird softened just a bit so it doesn't visually compete so much with the bird.
Beautiful scene. I really like the waves. Exposure and detail on bird are great, and the raised foot adds some nice action. Head angle isn't quite perfect but still works very well. Curious how a vertical would look; Tall birds in landscape can be tough compositions.

Hi Dorian, thank you for viewing and commenting. Hope this finds you healthy with Covid and all. How did I know someone would suggest a vertical.... I just happen to have one, but I liked the landscape because the gulf was quite beautiful that day.
