    Great shots Otávio! I particularly like #2.

    I find that #1 and #3 feel a little to 'cramped' in the frame. If they are cropped, I would prefer a little more space around them, more like the spacing in #2.

    They are very nice and I agree with Frank about the size of the birds( 1 and 3) ...

    They are beautiful. Any reason #2 seems warmer than the other two? - I like the WB in the other two better, I think.

    #2 For me Otavio, amazing images my friend, well done. #2 looks like he's showing off.. he knows he looks good when he 's flying Check how he's strutting his stuff and stretching out. I'm almost convinced he posed for u.

    Excellent shots Otavio. Just a minor point - you might want to reduce the amount of blue on the bird in #2.

    Additionally though the frames appear to work ok in #1, they are somewhat cramping in the others.

    Thanks, Mark. Regarding the #2, probably due to light source direction, as the egrets were passing in different direction so I moved the camera in many angles, compared to the source (sun).
