Stunning image of the egret taking off the white balance, exposure are perfect against your darkened background. Great timing Eileen to show the beautiful wingspan.

Very beautiful photograph, very artistically designed to show the white of the bird, and to show the action of the wings. Great shot.

Nice - it looks like we are about to perform a swan dive. Ha, ha, ha...

Nice depth and separation of darks and lights in this image. I like the way the egret really stands out. Very Nice Eileen. Kathy

A wonderful start of flight pose for you. Very good frame, focus and white exposure to show the very pretty details. Good work.

Aren't the curves of wing to neck to beak just beautiful! Absolute poetry in motion and the pure whiteness of feathers stand out well against the darkened background.

Wow... grace in motion!!

You got the money shot with this egret!

The photo captures its grace, has good focus, and the bokeh is perfect for highlighting the bird.
