David, i like what you did with the Black Out. I would see if you can do anything to bring out the leggs and something about the lower neck seems like it needs something. almost like the neck can detach? as always great work

Thanks the other Brian LOL. I see what your saying about the neck but thats the how the bird was posed not much I could do with that but yea it looks like a two piece bird not fitted well.

I could bring some more detail in the legs but I spent more time then I have liked to already and With the crappiest lighting this morning rain again and ISO jacked up to 3200, between the noise removal and some other PP to get it as this point gave me a migraine and I quite why I was ahead.LOL. Having said that,Your points are all valid and appreciate the feed back.

Agree with others it's a stand out from other Great Egret shots. Very nice. I would have liked to see more space at the bottom of the image but if it's a crop you probably have your reasons.

Good choice; the dark water really does add a lot to the feel of this photo! I'd never have guessed it started out as puke radioactive green.

Thanks Donde. I actually had more space at the bottom and think if the reflection from the was very clear, I would have left the space but the ripples in the water kinda killed that.
