I had a great time at Gatorland last Saturday, the place was packed with Great Egrets. Looking forward to go back later in the month when Snowy Egrets, Catle Egrets and Tricolored Heron start their nesting season.

All comments are appreciated.
A shame about the other birds feathers showing at the bottom of the image. Perhaps a toning down of the broad white line running behind the bird's bill will help, but these are minor issues, it is a superb image.
Really nice capture here. The BG looks to be way too much work to blur even more in PP, so I wouldn't touch that, but you could always clone in some "bush" from another image on top of that other bird at the bottom to eliminate it.
Very nice image, love the composition.
I would do something about the light patch in front of the bird.
The other birds feathers don't distract all that much but i wish they weren't there.
I agree with the positives stated above, and also feel that the plumes near the bottom are a bit distracting. A slight head turn wouldn't hurt either. Still a lovely image with just the right amount of habitat.
