Nice capture Antino! The sharpness, whites are right on. I really can feel his movement in the photo. Great Job! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Nice exposure, pose, and detail. I like the "layers" in the BG.
The blue on the front of the wings is a little odd, although it's probably reflection. You could reduce this by running a magnetic lasso around the area, then using the blue slider to reduce the blue.
Very nice image!

This is a great shot, getting the whites to pop without being blown out is not easy.

Nice capture and a strong sense of motion. The exposure is very good, and must have been a challenge under that bright light. I agree with Sandy that the bluish shadows, especially noticeable on the wings, is odd.

Very nice setting and a love the running 'pose' of the egret.

great action and a really nice job on the whites, Antino. really a nice bg also. my preference on the composition would be a little less space behind the bird and/or a little more in front. I agree that there's something a bit off on the color balance here, not only are the shadows too blue, but there's a bit of a reddish cast to the rest of the bird (move the saturation slider all the way to the right to reveal this)--might try making some white balance adjustments to see what happens.
