Superb detail in the white plumage, Peter. I like your angle and the slightly looking away pose that feels more natural than staring at the photographer. An excellent image. ---

Nice capture, Peter! Good job with the exposure (lots of texture & detail in the bright white feathers). A simple & classic composition that works perfectly for this scene. Well done! ---

I like the composition and how the egret stands out so nicely from the blue of the water. And, well done with the detail in the white feathers. ---

Peter, This one stands out as a favorite of mine–excellent contrast with detailed whites. Furthermore, I like the comp with lots of negative space. A very contemporary view of the snowy egret. Awesome job…Jim ---
