Somebody Had to be First

OK, I'll take the first dip in the pond!:)
This is a Snowy Egret shot from the Savannah Wildlife Refuge taken several months ago. I don't remember much about the exposure but it was a wonderful morning with really great light.

Canon 1DMIIn, 500 mm IS, 1.4x TC, tripod.

Comments and critiques welcomed.

Wonderful image, Robert. Excellent detail, wonderful wing-spread.

In the spirit of "critique," about the only suggestion I could see for improvement would be having (if possible) just a little more open space on the right, for the snowy to "fly into." But this is just a "nit" with respect to an excellent image.

Greetings Robert, .
This is a very beautiful image and I like the clean white color and the sharpness that you have captured in the bird here. Don't really see a need (though I do understand the rule about space for an object to move in to) for a different crop here. I am seeing some noise in the background that can be easily removed. Nice work. KC
