Great white egret on the flats

[Connie Mier]

On Biscayne Bay, near low tide where the grass flats are prominent. This was the only shot I was able to get of this bird, before it flew off. In PS, I experimented with the gray point and clicked on a portion of the water that was mostly gray with grasses. The effect was to give the water a more prominent blue hue, which I liked.

I like the work with the color, very interesting effect. The bird is very nice and the preening
pose is OK too. I really like the overall mood here. I think a bit of CCW rotation is needed.
Also I would clone out the green dots in the URH part.

I like the effect although water hue is somewhat unnatural. I would also do ccw rotation plus crop a bit tighter.
