The shape of the Egret and the white plumage/yellow beak standout quite nicely against the dark blue background. Good detail in the white feathers. I suppose the only thing you could have asked for a little more would be that the fish was turned more laterally to get a better view.

Neat capture Dave! Although I do like the crop, I'd like to see closer headshot to get a closer image of the fish. Nice contrast with the dark blue background. Keep up the good work! Ry
