This is an excellent photograph, not only for its delightful characterization, but also for its nicely framed, well-balanced composition. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

What a beauty to have framed. I love the ornate array of this egret's feathers flowing like waves. I also find the framing of green foliage to be a nice contrast surrounding him. Great lighting, rich colors and appeal of composition.

A beautiful shot capturing this fantastic bird looking like it's put it's wing in an electrical socket!! great clarity showing the individual, delicate & thin feathers (almost like hair) very well, set against a nice lush green background that gives good contrast to the overall piece, that is centred well also. Good work.

Eileen,
A beautiful picture of this Snowy Egret displaying for a passing or watching female near by his fantastic plumes dancing with his dance moves & the breeze . His bright orange feet are also very eye catching. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Great capture of this displaying Egret. The color and detail are excellent. This is a wonderful look at the beautiful fluffed out feathers in his display.

Now that is just plain showing off. A fantastic display shot from a great perspective. The plumage is beautifully shown and the colors are well saturated.

Wow! This is a stunning capture of this Egret. One of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. Your focus is spot on and sharp showing such clear and well defined details, and both your exposure and white balance are perfect. I like the angle that you have captured him makes for a very interesting perspective. Your background and depth of field and good and compliments your photography. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is indeed a great shot of a Snowy Egret, because we can really appreciate the beautiful feathers. He for sure doing his best to impress the ladies. The green foliage is a lovely background, and the bird is standing out from it in an excellent way.

Your photo is of course also nice and sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird. I also think the exposure is fine.

The cropping has worked well, and the bird has a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.
