    Cattle Egret in flight. I thought about cropping this one but I like it full frame... what do you think?

    Hi Mike,

    Very nice wings position. I wish for a little more room on top and less on the bottom. The exposure looks good. The colors are very vivid.

    See you soon!

    I like it as is. Nice composition that, to me, gives more emphasis to the rising flight path. There is one really long light brown streak in the BG that I might try to tone down, but that is being really picky.

    Nice bird. Nice wing position. Way-sharp. Nice image. No need at all to crop. The bird flying away from you (rather than towards you) and the yellow branch and a half just forward of the bend of the wing are negatives.

    Agree with Artie, super nice bird, great sharpness, nice image overall but having the bird fly towards the camera or even parallel would have made the image more 10X better.
    I would take out some of the blue cast in the wings, but thats just me.
