A striking portrait, Tony. Dramatic sidelighting set off by the dark background. It’s neat that the image could pass for black & white but for the slight touch of color on the beak and in the eye. Well done!

I love the dark BG separating the bright white egret. Nice details.

Exposure is spot on and dark bg pops the subject nicely, Tony!
