Great shot capturing these two species together and in flight no less. I might try to tone down the whites in the egret just a bit but overall very nice.

Neat photo! Really like the two birds in very similar positions. I agree with toning down the white in the egret just a little. Thanks for sharing.

Getting one is difficult enough. Way to go with two, and both nicely sharp! I agree the back of the egret is a tad hot.

Great moment of capture. Bravo and agree on reduction of whites.
