    I would prefer a bit more space at the bottom and right Bhai just a personal choice, loved the feel to this, great pose, very complimenting BG and the light through the wings makes this for me.. congrats..

    Exquisite backlighting on this egret. A real "bird as art" image. I might add a little CCW rotation to give the wings more of a diagonal, less vertical line through the frame while also leveling the body. Love the overall color also. (Dust spot in front of lower wing)

    I love back lit images when done right and you nailed this one. Lovely wing/tail spread with just enough light coming through. I agree with Kiran on the comp and I'd also remove some from the left side. Congrats

    Cool backlight, pose, colors and composition. A slightly wider crop would be an option but I like it as is.

    Manos, Beautiful back lit wings and an elegant look. I like the original warm toned post, but I would also like the cooler tones in Artie's repost if I saw it first either way a very nice image w/ lots of detail in the wings.

    Manios, a beuatiful image--with many possibilities. I also like the soft warm original post. Lightening the body or even hitting the whole image with s/h gives a different look.

    Manos, this is beautiful shot and I like the warm colors, but the repost is better for me.
