This picture was taken few minutes after sunrise on Bunche Beach, Florida. I would like to know your feedback.

Very nice light, a bit too warm making part of the bird yellow. Lowering the temp at conversion could be one way to correct it.
I would sharpen the eye selectively a little more so the feet don't look sharper.
Compo works well. TFS.

agree with fabs on lowering the temp a bit. i would clean a few of the spots in the water also. i like the comp and the blurred wings you got at the slower shutter speed!!

Loved the pose, light, DOF and low angle. Well composed artistic shot. I find doing flight photography from that low angle quite tough. Well done.

A little CW rotation is needed IMO.

Great light and wonderful wing pose. For me personally, I don't think the color temperature is too warm.

I like the idea here, light is soft and calm water is a plus, but the egret is landing away from you, if it were landing towards you, you would have uniform light all over with better wing position. You did well given what you had, agree with Fabs about sharpening and color temperature .

Lovely composition and you did well in the orange light of sunrise. I don't agree about the color temp. That is the color of sunrise. do agree about sharpening the eye to match the sharpness of the feet.
