Bob, I like the bands of colors in the bg and I think I'd take a little bit off the bottom (the darkest part). I like the feel of this - it's very peaceful looking. Nicely done.

I like it too. The layers of grasses are very attractive. The bird is flying away from you but the way you have composed the image works for me. Love the warm like and the exposure is spot on. Nice environmental image.

I really like this one Bob. This is a wall hanger for sure, just a beautiful, beautiful moment in life. The layers of grass are over the top, the habitat is fantastic. This is a keeper for sure and the type of shot I search for. The composition and light are spot-on and I like it as presented.

Normally I would prefer the bird flying toward the viewer but this one work out nicely. The environment in this image is over the top, the layer of grass with its color are very beautiful. The full wing span flight pose really help enhance the image. I might try to do an experiment and try to blur the foreground glass just a bit and see how it looks like.

Bob, I love the evening feel and serenity of the image. The nice warm colors are very appealing. Technically would be better if the egret were flying at least parallel to the camera, but artistically this works for me too. Nice job.

I love how the egret stands out from the layered background. Nice work.
