WOWnderful colours, and reflection, very well exposed whites! Just one issue: the head should be more in focus or sharper... I guess she was quite far from you, they are very coward animals and they are hard to approach.

Nice effort. What keeps me from voting it higher than a 6 is the blown highlights on the back (a difficult challenge, I know)

Excellent egret. Exposure is pretty good but some detail lost in the main body. The ripples in the water are very effective.

Looks almost like a painting! The warm colors are very inviting, has a very autumn/fall feel to it. The soft focus also adds a somewhat dreamy feel to the image also. The reflection adds a somewhat symmetrical feel to the shot, and the composition is wonderful. Only nitpick is the exposure, which is really difficult with these birds, as it looks like you've blown the highlights on the top of the body.

Great picture. Would like to see more details of the feathers. Still a nice picture with nocie colors and a very nice reflection.
