So I trusted the weather man and got up at 5am, it was of course not sunny but I think this helped with exposure, especially when I was photographing this egret. I quite like the light but would be interested in your opinions.

Personally I really like the soft lighting on this. I do wonder if a crop off the top would improve it further.

Nice light but feel the subject is lost a little in the frame for my tastes. I do enjoy space around the subjects but I think the line of the horizon draws you into the picture and away from the bird on this occasion. Maybe David's suggestion could help things a little..

Lovely light and I like the sense of space given by the loose comp.

Very nice scene and lovely light. I agree about the cropping suggestion.

Thanks for the comments, I have had a go on photoshop and removed a bit of the top and bottom I think I prefer it as I agree with the sand bar pushing your eyes out of the frame.
