Nicki, Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate them. I love the pose and the play of the water off the beak. I like the composition very much.

Nicki, this is beautiful! I love the high key look and the dynamic action you captured. The angle of the egret's body leaning into the effort draws the eye into the action, then the bill points the way out. Super!

Denise and Kerry, thanks so much for your very kind words :)

[Julie Kenward]

What a stunning image, Nicki! I can't quite tell if you've lost a little detail in the whites in a few areas but it doesn't bother me all that much. The pose and the action really tell the story here.

Nice image and application, Nicki.

Like the action and HK effect.

This is a really beautiful image, Nicki! :) The bird's pose and the curving water create such a lovely flow to it.

[Susan Candelario]

As already mentioned in the previous comments, great pose, action and I love the High key as well as the almost circular water capture. Way to go, Nicki!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Love all the motion going on Nicki, and well framed too. Congrats.

Beautiful composition, Nicki. Excellent capture with play of water here. The hk is very effective. Love everything about it.
