It's hard to go wrong with snowy egret photos.  From a technical level the birds can be difficult to photograph because their bright white feathers tend to wash out (as you can see in a few areas of this picture).  So often, though, that ends up being just a minor distraction from what is otherwise a very pleasing photo.  That's how it works for my eye, at least.  I like this shot.  I even like the twigs in the foreground.
