Real nice shot. Great pose one I have not seen before. Nice detail. Wish for a better angle but still a great shot. Well done.

Lower angle would be better, but I love the wing and stretching position, and the sharpness and detail are great in the larger version.

Interesting. A really windy day? Well composed and I don't mind the angle. :toast:

Fantastic pose, Peter. Some of the whites look like they might be on the verge of hot, but I'm not sure. I think I would have used a bit looser composition. With that neck straight out it doesn't really have anywhere to go ahead of it-and I think it wants some room on the left.

I think this would be an awesome shot from a lower angle, with your lens at the bird's eye level. A good behavior capture as posted.

Excellent capture, certainly different. Looks sharp and clear, I like how the egret contrasts and compliments the brown brush.
