Wow, what a way to have a comeback! This is a great silhouette. The composition and BG are right on. No nits here, hang it. Thanks

Excellent! Perfect silhouettes from both egrets, wonderful colours, and the bit of tree adds a lot of interest. The juxtapositions of the birds, as well as the comp, is ideal.
Very fine work!

Awesome first post in the critiques Michael! The colors are incredible here. Great subjects and silhouettes. I love the tree too. I would be tempted to do some “border patrol” along the left side to take out just a few of the little “extra” twigs and branches. It will help give the image an overall cleaner impression. Not that it is necessary, just a thought.

Outstanding image Michael! Great composition, exquisite details and gorgeous background. I’m with @Ed_Williams that removing some of the bits on the left edge would enhance it further.
