Hi Mary
A pleasant beach scene where the white egret has the potential to catch the eye but in this framing it's too centered and too small, how about a vertical frame placing it on the lower right strong point, which could be a crop of this image
Have a nice day JY

Bonjour Mary,
une photo tranquille et naturelle mais pour laquelle je trouve la netteté un peu trop poussée.
Bien cadrée, elle est raffraichissante et d'une excellente profondeur.
Bien amicalement.
Daniel.

Hello Mary,
A good composition of this tropical scene. I like the use of the overhanging tree as framing; whilst the egret and its reflection is a definite bonus. Lovely natural looking tones and excellent sharpness.

Hello Mary,
congratulations for your splendid gallery and the last fantastic seascapes.
In this last one I think that the criticism of JY is perfect, but I look at your image and enjoy about it!!!
Friendly regards.
Giorgio

dear Mary,
a peaceful picture of splendid view,
lonely white egret looks graceful and very calm,
rich green leaves make this view more attractive,
distant blue of the sea looks pale ultramarine, it is basic in this view.
and the wind is really refreshing and comfortable to my eyes and skin.
tender waves make the time passing slowly.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Ciao dear Mary,
in this moment I would like to exactly be on this beach, to admire the color of the sea and to follow with the eyes the movements of the birds. Excellent photo, really pleasant, compliments!
Ciao, have a nice w.e.!

Hello Mary.
Thank you for your commentaries. This place that you show us seems to be paradisiac. Very good composition with the heron in the shore, I like the branch of the tree giving a nice contrast on the sky, luminous color and elegant frame.
Regards and good weekend.
Luis.

Hello Mary,
A very nice scene in this beautiful place with crystal clear water. I like the composition with the bird and the tree gives contrast and depth.
Best regards,
