Almost mono but I resisted the temptation.

Nice shot.

Those subtle colour tints work nicely.

subtle colors bring their own rewards. well done

[John 2]

Thanks John, thanks Geoff, thanks Brian.

Those subtle colour tints work nicely.

I completely agree! After all, it is practically a "mono" bird. This subtle treatment would not be the most recommended for a macaw or a toucan, but it looks very nice for an egret. Nice job, John!

PS.: I also liked the composition, by the way.

Great image, my only suggestion would be to remove the two ripples(?) to the left of the bird's neck that I think are a bit distracting. I think removing them would equalize the image with the rest of the bg. Just a thought

[Tom Barry]

Yes, subtlety rules in this case.

Thanks all for the additional comments. Like the idea of removing the two ripples. Surprising, it does make a difference.
