Hey Bob,
Very nice detail and a superb portrait of this Egret with a complimentary BG as an added bonus. The colors look great and the whites are sweet and this is a very hard bird for getting the whites right.
Well done . . .

That's an intense green around the eye. This is a great look at this egret with excellent sharpness on the bird, well handled whites, and a nicely complementary background.

This is gorgeous Bob. Love the green around the eye. I know others have mentioned it, but the BG being complimentary to the eye colour (with subtle splashes of green too) takes this one up to the next level.
