People at dpc like to say that centered images are not as good as images that are using the rule of thirds - this is arguable in theory and on this photo ... I'm not really sure - but i think this might be both - if cropped just a smidge tighter - the lighting is great and the bird and tailfeathers are interesting and detailed -- I've found these birds to be quite cooperative in photos :) 7

Very nice, Love the sharp white on that musky green.

The bird is beautifully shot, but too central. Also, I would suggest cropping about 1 1/2 inches down from the top to balance the image better. Wonderful pure white and great detail on the bird!

I find the negative space here dull. Maybe a bit more saturation of the blues?

Nicely exposed shot, tricky with those whites.

Excellant picture of the egret. However there appear to be dust spots all over the sky. You could have edited them out in this challenge.

What a beautiful bird - as long as it stays on it's perch with that long sharp beak. lol Nicely composed and focused. The textures of the tail feathers really come through. Taken at a very good angle as the sun casts perfectly upon this bird.

I think a slightly closer crop and less centered composition would improve this.

Would have crop on the left side and removed the airplane trace. Nice lighting.

Great Egret. Snowy Egret has yellow feet and a shorter neck.
