Nice work on the egret plumage, Peter. It looks very white while retaining good detail. I could see more room for the virtual legs if you have it in the original. There’s a light colored spot in the upper left zone that you might want to remove as it tends to catch my eye.

I like the pose here. It looks like this bird is intent on business and has somewhere to go.

Hi Peter, nice details and a fine pose with the head turn towards us. Exposure looks really good - nice job against that dark BG. Good subject placement - well done.
