Hello Jerry,

A very nice tight portrait of this gorgeous snowy egret. You have managed to control the exposure of the whites beautifully, which is often a bit tricky.

A couple of very minor nitpicks: 1) you might try a different crop to allow more space to the left of the photo (right of the bird, the direction in which it is looking); and 2) suggest cloning out the white fluff at the tip of the bill (although this is a personal choice and one which I don't always do myself).

Other than that, feather details and colors are great.

Best regards,

Dennis
