Olympus E-M1. Olympus 50-200 mm lens @ 200 mm.

Nice, very pure image.
Two details if I may:
- the composition would have worked better for me had the birds been looking left, or been a bit more left in the frame,
- the bird looks a bit over-exposed on my laptop screen. There may be no problem in a correct viewing environment.
Cheers,

I agree with the placement of the egret in the frame, more to the left would have been nice. Other than that, it'a a lovely photo.

Thanks for the comments. I took quite a few shots and some had the bird more centered and/or facing into the frame. But, I particularly like this one because it is a bit nonconventional, with the bird off-center and looking "out." I sort of think of it as a picture of the salt marsh with an egret as opposed to a photo of an egret.

I like your image - the marsh creates a visual bridge across the image and the bird is crossing over - to where, from where, who knows?
The grass has a very tasteful texture. The only part that makes me wonder is the high contrast texture on the rougher water beyond the bird. I would probably explore just softening the contrast a little so it doesn't demand so much attention.
