A little bit too far on the sharpening imho. A good catch, but is hurt by the post processing imho. I think the original shot might have potential though.
This seems the tiniest bit... pixelated? to me? The egret's head seems like it ought to be sharper, based on the rest of the picture, than it is. Nice capture, though.
