Do you have taken such an incredible photograph of this great egret. You have captured him and such a beautiful pose. He is so elegant looking. The picture is beautiful.

The egret appears that he is cold, with the crumpled or bowing of his back and feathers. Nice capture of the bird, his legs, bill, and structure he stands on.

This looks as if the bird crunched its body and fluffed its plumage in order to keep warm, while looking for some prey. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The white balance is perfect. The Egret is perfect placed at the right of the frame, with enough place in front to observe the area. The photo is exper4tly composed. The composition is balanced.

The great egret is such an elegant bird with the white plumage.
You have placed the egret perfectly within the frame allowing room for it to move or look into.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the white plumage Is gorgeous! Nice clear face and bill. Appreciate the clear eye!
Well composed and presented!

an excellent close up Mary of this white egret on a cold day, with his neck hidden nder the wing; I appreciate the quality of your exposure for the "white color".

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that lovely bird and its location. Like it long beak and fluffy feathers. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!
