Group shot at Ft Desoto

[allanrube]

It isn't often that the 3 subjects I have been shooting decide to pose for a group shot as I am leaving, but that is what happened this morning at the north lagoon at Ft. Desoto.

D300 with 400 2.8. 1/1250 at f/8. Auto ISO registered at 200.

Hi there,

Cool habitat image you have here with a nice low angle and exposure. Looks like the Redish Egret wants some of whatever the Spoonbill is eating!

Really cool to get 3 species lined up like that, with pretty good eye contact from all. I would crop just a hair more off the bottom to get rid of the dark smudge. Nice image.

Allan, this is a nice capture. 3 for one! good light.

I like the interaction, angle and it is great to have 3 species in one image. Another vote for a crop off the bottom.

I did not see the smudge when I posted it. I have been shooting so much this week that I am not as careful as I should be. I totally agree on the crop - will do so.

Very nice. The soft colors and reflections add to the composition. I hope you thanked these guys for your parting gift!
