    This was taken in February at Fort Desoto in Florida. I really enjoyed watching them run around. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Great colours, pose, comp. I almost get the feeling the image may need half a degree CCW rotation?

    Heavenly sea/sky merge and BG. Love the angle towards you and the raised foot. I agree that it may need a slight CCW rotation.

    Fantastic pose, love the smooth water, BG and the water movement at the feet. Love the feathers on the neck.

    Hi Jim, great IQ, and just love the light and colours in this. I like both the shooting angle, and the angle of the egret, together with the wading pose with the raised leg. Good overall detail too.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words and comments. Daniel and Melissa I will try a version with a little CCW rotation and see how it looks.
