I like the different pose and wing position...Crits appreciated

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent pose and sweet light, looks like suspended in the air!

[Mital Patel]

brilliantly handled white here. superb pose low flight capture.

[Tom Rambaut]

Does have a 3d feel - Whites better that mine!!

[Mark Itol]

Great pose, light, and background, Dumay. Great job on containing the whites. Beautiful.

I like the pose and the BG colors.As usual, the IQ is awesome!

Whites look good, sharp with great detail. Pose doesn't work for me though.

[Doug Brown]

Love the bleeding edge whites and the excellent sharpness. Not a big fan of the pose though. Of course Great Egrets never seem to give you the flight pose you're hoping for.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks for the comments..I knew the pose would be a matter of tatse. Just felt like something different

[Daniel Cadieux]

I wish the wings were in a better position, but I do dig the IQ and exposure / colours. As you say, a matter of taste

[Stu Bowie]

Well exposed mate, tack sharp, and pops nicely against the darker BG.

[Arthur Morris]

Love the head and neck, the nice job on the WHITEs, the hanging feet, the BKGR and the position of the bird against it, and the SH. The side view/crooked wing position is however about my least favorite....

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Nice work on the whites and a smooth bg. I like the open mouth too.

[Nico Steenberg]

Well exposed with good sharpness and bg. Like the in flight pose
