Very nice capture. A little on the soft side but, I still like it.

Was this cropped??

yes , about 50%

I also think shrinking this photo for this format killed the shot

Perhaps the lens isn't quite strong enough.

I was somewhat disappointed in a blue heron I cropped. He had a wonderful fish in his beak but, cropped it became quite pixelated - even in raw.

Though it's a bit noisy (which could easily be addressed with software), I like the pose and background. Nice capture Wally.

I like the capture, I have tried a bunch and don't have any as nice as this. They must like you better.

Everything else aside, I love the pose of this Egret, Wally.

I agree with the above comments--the pose of the egret really makes the shot here. Nicely done.
