2 Nov 24 Comment Lucky You, Shirley.
One of the interesting things about night photography - especially stars or Auroras - is that the foreground is as important as the sky itself. You found a wonderful location to capture the Aurora that night. Your 15 second exposure (Wide open) kept the stars from trailing and the focus on the great coloration of the magical event. Well done. 		Nov 10th
2 Nov 24 Comment Like Piers noted, I too, was taken immediately by the background colors being near identical to those of the birds.
It's so soothing. The cluster seems harmonious. Nice crop and editing. 		Nov 4th
2 Nov 24 Comment Tor.
Very interesting capture showing intense concentration.
My preference is the colored version. The colors are as intense as his stare. Like others have referenced, I too, like the feathers on his back. It tells more of a story.
I would, however, tone down the highlights at the base of the feathers.
Very interesting image.

2 Nov 24 Comment Hi Karen,
Your submitted image, to me, is too much of a conflict between the sharpened, denoised, polished train and the background that you imposed around it. I can't suggest an alternative because I'm generally not oriented towards that type of manipulation.
It certainly looks like you had fun playing with it and trying various options.		 Nov 4th
2 Nov 24 Comment Very nice image, Piers. This is truly the personification of a "soft landing". I love the backlit wings which provides so much detail in all the feathers. The square crop still provides enough space for the bird to be flying "into" the frame. I like the high key variation (original 1) because it lessens the excess dark at the bottom. Nice touch!
On a technical note, there appears to be a bit of a halo around the Egrets legs/feet, likely caused by excess sliders of Clarity or Dehaze.
Very nice image.
