Nice, Bill.  In the larger image, the head of the Egret seems a bit soft-you might try some extra sharpening on it to see if it helps.

My goodness what a beautiful egret and a beautiful frame. I noted the softness to the head as well (although the wet feathers could be adding to this "effect"), but the overall contrast and light is wonderful and the reflection dramatic in its perfection. The image could almost definitely use a clockwise rotation to be "true", but that will crowd the tip of the tail unless you have more room behind in the original. Great timing in getting the foot coming forward as well.
