    Great behavior shot and the branch tells a great story. I would take a little off the left to bring egret off center

    I'm usually not a big fan of steep angles but this one works for me. I like the soft colors and the nesting material adds to it. The bird is just a bit too centered as presented.

    Very nice capture with that huge frame. I think your flash never reached the bird, it looks like you had to use shadow/highlight, the whites looks pasty.
    I'd crop some off the left, to get the bird out of the center.

    It was great to see you and Judy :)

    I love the colors of the bill/eye. They really pop with the simple palette around them. I like the different angle too. I agree a quick shift off center, and then call it a day.

    Very nice capture of this beautiful bird. I also like the sharpness in the bill. It's easy to see the opening for the branch. Way to handle the exposure.

    It was a good day for you at the A.F. rookery. Thanks for sharing....

    Lovely position and I love the light coming through the wings and the bill.
