Lovely colors. This screams asia. I find the middle ground bit bright on my monitor.

Perhaps the mid ground is a bit bright, just a bit. Possibly carry any dodging closer to the edges so not to obtain a strong light falloff at the left. Nice colors and mood!

Nice composition of the impending storm. I like the mood setting tones. Concur there is mid ground brightness. I understand this is titled egret landing but the egret in the water appears unclear or positioned so that the viewer cannot discern what it s doing. This is distracting and limits appreciation of the whole. Thanks for posting.

I find it interesting and like the tonal contrasts. Bird is heading to the other side apparently.

Thanks all for the comments, yes, perhaps a bit bright in the centre, true.
