Nice composition, Peter. I like the wing position of the incoming bird. I do think it would work better if both birds weren't facing away.

I really like the wing position here and the contrast between the Egret and what looks like dark mud. Nicely composed.

I like the sense of action and the pose of the great egret, Peter. You also got a very nice backdrop for the egrets. But I too would have liked to have at least one of the egrets more side on. The focus also seems to be on the egret's wing rather that the head, which makes for a soft subject.
