I really like how you edited this. The texture on the wing is wonderful. It doesn't bother me, but I know that some people would think the top of the head and the little area on the neck are blown. I always look at things like that and see if it can be brought back (simply because people seem to hone in on that). But as I said, it doesn't bother me.

The only nit I have to pick is the cropping. It seems squished on the right. If you want to keep the whole tail, is there more on the bottom you could bring in? Perhaps putting the babies on the rule of thirds line might give it more space? I'd rather crop in from the left, though.

I was one of your 8s -- I really like that it's not overprocessed. So many of them were over-sharpened. This is so clean and beautiful. Extremely well done!

I knew the water looked like that. I've seen it before, too. :)

It's just that the denoising left it a little too smooth. I think a bit of grain coming through would look a little more real?

Congrats!! Awesome score!! Is that a cattle egret?

Nice! Seems a tad oversharpened, but nicely spotted and captured!
