    Good exposure, and comp, and I like the grassy habitat. You may get comments for more room for the "virtual legs" but I like it as is with just enough FG elements as to not overpower the comp. The image would have benefitted from a better HA though.

    Good SH, EXP, and habitat but count me as the first to wish for more room below and the 2nd for a better HA.

    Super angle Mital, and the egret pops so well from his enviroment. I dont mind the surrounding grasses, and agree a better HA would have been great. Well captured.

    Mital,
    I like the pose. A slight head turn would have been great. I don't mind the lack of space at the bottom for the virtual legs, as it is shielded by vegetation and doesn't appear to be very obvious.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    I like the habitat, FG and BG.
    Agree about the HA, and I would take some from the top and add some to the bottom.
