A couple of weeks ago I posted this image and this is a new iteration derived from my coaching session with Keith Bauer last night.

Processed in Lightroom, Photoshopcc2014, NIK and TK

Thank you for your comments

The repost does look better, Patrick. Detail is superb in both. I don't know if it's just my eyes, but there seems to be just a hint of greenish cast to the bird (maybe reflected surroundings on the white plumage?).

Nice pose. Love the subtle detail in the whites and how the egret pops of the dark background. Well done.

Very nice Patrick. Whites are perfect and I like the texture of the beak and eyes

Man, the differences are subtle, but the extra brightness in the plumes at the back of the head are a good enhancement. I too see a touch of green in the bird (on a calibrated monitor) but agree with Dennis that it may be a perceptual effect due to the green background.

Indeed subtle changes. I do see some greenish (reflection?) as well - but like the image as before ! Cheers, Hans
