From High Island Rookery last week. The place was so filled with birds and action that it was tough to isolate a single bird or pair without a half-dozen others intruding into the frame. Had to do a bit of tricky pruning on this one. Full-width (added slivver on the left and cropped equivalent amount from the right); cropped from the top to eliminate some of the bg clutter. Wish I had a bit of room at the bottom.
Gorgeous light on this pair, you've got a beautiful image here. Agree with Stuart on adding some at the bottom. I really like the head angles on both birds and the wingspread is great.
Thanks everyone. Alas there was no more room at the bottom of that frame. I went back and attempted to borrow a slivver from a prior frame, but it had an oof egret in the left foreground. I've tried to blend it in. I'm sure a sharp eye will be able to find traces of the splice. With the additional space, I was able to revert to a traditional 3:2 comp.
