    Hi Daniel

    I just love the tones in the water and the white egret stands out sweetly.
    wish for a slightly lower angle and would rotate it somewhat CW since the ripples around the feet are skew. a good indicator is to make sure the beaktip and reflected beaktip line up vertically.

    Daniel, I feel this is one of your stronger efforts to date. Nice colours in the water. I agree with rotation - it just instantly catches my eye anytime an image is slanted. Check out this thread in Educational Resources for an ultra easy fix:

    In the repost I levelled the horizon, desaturated the blue and cyan channels (see difference in plumage), and lightened the eye. Both versions could use a touch more sharpening on the subject.

    Hi Daniel.
    I like the colours captured in the water reflections.
    I like what is proposed in the re post but I may leave a bit more space below
    Ditto sharpening.
    You could also try and get a bit more detail in the feathers on his back in PP?

    This one is the one I like the most of all your images from this place.
    Here's my PP suggestion, a tad more color temperature, CW rotation, some USM and NR.
    Congratulations!
