Beautiful bird. It blends nicely into the background and yet still stands out.

The egret gets rather lost against the background (as you recognise yourself). My eye does get drawn to the bright white of the rock immediately below the bird. I think I would like this far more with a different edit (which clearly wouldn't be for this challenge). Hopefully you have another in the Free study!

Beautiful sunset and wonderful location. Makes me want to break out the flip flops and chair. Grab some BBQ and firepit.

the light and colours are beautiful ..
the silhouettes are almost my favourite part .. it's like they are embracing the water and the sunset ..
there's a sombre feel to this .. but also a promise .. it's intense .. :)

Yes, Bill said, a very believable sunset.

What I like here is the believability of the colors. Too often we see sunsets that have taken the natural beauty of the light and created a cartoonlike oversaturation. Nice.

It's as if the sunset has dropped a flower into the water as an offering to the night. There's a sense of loneliness here, but it may just be my own imposition. Sunsets can feel like a daily onset of winter, if you let them. Nice recession of depth from foreground to deep background. The muted colors, for a sunset, offer serenity among that aforementioned subjective loneliness, a kind word. I also like the silhouetted branches.
