A beautiful job on the whites in this image, Sandy, and a very nice pose.

3

Very nice! Excellent detail and the whites jump off the page in 3D! Do you have enough canvas to include the virtual feet?

4

This is a very nice side view Of the egret. Good detail. Pleasing pose… Welcome, composed with nice lighting and background

5

Diane - the feet are there, perpendicular to the end of the visible legs! :slight_smile:
Maybe it needs more room still.

What a cool bird, Sandy. Excellent image all around.

7

Excellent detail and handling of the whites. Nice pose with the crest showing. I like the composition and probably wouldn’t crop. The plant is fine.

Nice work handling the whites Sandy. I really like the fluffed up feathers on the top.
