Beautiful fall colors and I also like the composition. I might be tempted to remove the bird on the ground but like it as presented.

lovely interaction in a great setting - the white egrets are nicely offset against the rich fall colours. also fine with it as presented...

Nice capture of egret interaction, catching both birds with open wings. The Snowy bystander on the right makes it interesting to me, but it would also make a great shot by cropping him out and focusing only on the interaction of the two Great Egrets. Fall colors are lovely against the white birds.

Hi Jim, I like the color of the glasswort very much. I find the pose of the white egrets pleasing. I especially like the water trailing from the feet. I do think is nice as presented and I think it would also work without the Snowy (it that is within your ethics). Thanks for sharing.

[Jim Fenton]

I kinda like the snowy in there but I suppose it might work as well without it to some.

Gorgeous setting you had in front of you! The colours are fantastic. I like the action, and the pano crop works well. To me its the Snowie's awkward place in the frame that makes it look odd there...it's rather close to the edge and kinda unbalances the comp...if there was more room behind it that could work.

colors and multiple egrets in the scene take this shot to the top. It is an excellent habitat and behavioral candid. I like the snowy in the frame, it looks as if it's watching the big guys get into a fight :D
