Take off

This photograph was also taken,followed a Great Egret around Hammonasset Beach State Park,CT on a cold rainy Spring day and has a little better detail. I think it worth posting for the action alone.

2 commentsA few things I think that would improve the shot:
Looks like the light wasn't great. Overcast? Makes it a little dull, and I find it hard to improve shots like this in post processing. Better, warm light would make it snap more.
Also, I think the background distracts. I'm learning this as I'm a novice here. Having a blurrier BG or a constant BG would help isolate the bird instead of drawing attention way from him.
Also, cropping to give room, so in this shot, based on the way I've been critiqued, I think having the bird a little to the right of center would make it a little more appealing.
Just my 2 cents. All personal preference.
What do you think?
This was a overcast and rainy day, and as for the framing, I was running out of room on the left side. Thank you for your 2 cents.
