Another nice scene, Peter.  Detail in both birds looks good.  It looks like you could bring the brightness up a bit, but that might ruin the early morning mood of the image.

A pleasing composition with this pair of Egrets.  Unlike the framing, the layers of greenery with the water and the birds.  Nice level of lighting.

A nice image showing the size difference of these 2 species Peter, you could have stopped down to say F11 to try and get the Great Egret as sharp as the Snowydevil
