I like the composition, Peter. I like the negative space for the egret to look into. Great color of the water. Is the full reflection available? I like the cleaner water better.
This is cool, Peter. In this case, I think I’d clean up the water, though it’s always a judgement call. I looked at your original and I love the fade out of the reflection below the bird. Have you played with a crop that gives less room above the bird but goes all the way to the bottom? I think it might make an interesting alternative.
