Great wing position and excellent detail in the white plumage, Allen. Well done.

Wonderful pose and sharpness with a great BG. I can be too greedy about pulling out detail in whites, but I wonder if there is a little more in the back wing. Small nit, though.

Hi Allen  
The Egret popes out of it’s background and the white are well under control. I know it would be hard to get more detail on of the back wing, but it would really be nice to see if there is anymore detail in the wing. Nice shot.
