Elegant and beautiful. Well composed and for a white subject well exposed. The image has a great feel to it. Good job!

Way above par for this forum, I inhaled sharply when I saw it. Not to bad for a very simple picture and composition.

The "bubbles" around the Egret seem to form a circle. Cropping off half the space between the line of bubbles circling the bird and the right side helps to balance the composition. Infact, cropping the right edge and the top edge on the bubbles forms a better composition. By having the white bubbles cropped and incomplete on the edges, they act as a framing border and don't compete with the (white) Egret as the subject, but instead support it.

For anyone who comes back to this page, I took Paul's advice and changed the cropping -- this is the cropping you see in the picture above now.

Thanks, Paul!
