Great shot Vincent. I agree with Sue, the moving weter is really good, adds an extra touch of vibrancy. Good sharpness and the mix of colours is nice.
cheers

Hallo Richard
This is a beautiful scene, with clear and fine details. Light is very well used emphasizing the different colours in this image, and makes the white bird stand out so nicely. I like the patterns the water is making in the background. It is really fascinating. A beautiful presentation of this lovely bird. Well framed and presented. Thanks for sharing, and have an enjoyable day.
Best regards
Anna

Hi Richard,
Wonderful shot of this Snowy Egret searching for food. The surf rolling in at the back presents a fine effect and I like the blue colour of the water at the FG. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours. Superb handling of lighting and exposure and a great pose captured. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hello Richard,
This is an amazing image in its own right. But I saw the first image and that is still the one I love. Thats not to say this is any slouch, but my hearts with the first one. Great work Richard.

Egrets are such graceful creatures, aren't they?
They look like some ballerinas especially when they are in their breeding plumage.
nice pose captured here, Richard, with the bird very alert and ready to strike. the green and brown sea weed, the blue water and the frothy waves in the background makes it a lovely composition.
Thanks for the share,
Smitha.
