Wow, stunning detail on the larger version, good detail on the whites and I like the overall composition. Excellent shot, the larger version was a pleasure to view.

Truly exceptional avian capture! Coloration is exquisite and you achieved super sharp resolution on the egret. Will even venture to say this is one of the best avian portraits I have yet seen.
