The pose and the reflection is nice. A slight head turn away from you for a better eye contact would have enhanced the image further.

Nice image. Agree about the eye contact, and I would have preferred a lower angle.

Tight composition. It feels as if the egret is carefully walking on such a tight frame. More space would have been better. The body-the brightest portion of the image- is in the rule of thirds position. Due to both these factors, it attracts attention. Your camera is not aligned to its head, so the eye contact is not optimal. That detracts from the image. I can't find much of details in the body. How big a crop is this?

Cheers,

Hi Sabyasachi,
This is full frame. So didnt have much room to play with. The details are probably lost due to the Noise Reduction I've used.
