I like this Bill. Your exposure looks good and I like the concentration of the egret.

I like the pose of the bird, the exposure is perfect, the detail of the eye and the bill is very good, the reflection is nice too.
Well done.

I don't like reflections normally but this works well. Helps when its a larger bird I suppose.
Lovely shot

Snowys are my favorite egrets. Lovely colors in the lores and excellent handling of the whites. Nice image.
