    Can you spot the interloper?

    Nice shot David. It is very well exposed and I can see nice details in the whites and blacks. The image is a bit busy for me and the branch intersecting with the neck is a bit distracting. Good composition with the nesting bird in the BG though

    Details on the white look good. Typical of a nest setting. Light looks alright. The pose on the bird is nice.

    This is way too cluttered for me. I have never been a fan of rookery shoots because of this. There is lots of interesting behavior at a rookery but it can rarely be captured in an aesthetically pleasing way- unless the action is at the top of the rookery allowing for a cleaner image.
    The intersecting branch by the neck is distracting.
    I think the partial view of the eggs is way more interesting than the barely visible anhinga in RLC.
    Sorry David, but this image would be a delete for me

    I like the pose and the way you handled the subject. The clutter is where this nest is so ... What really bugs me is the greyed out Wood Stork in the URC. Did you try to tone that one down?

    Nope. It's like that in the raw file. I did include that nest for composition as Ivan noticed. I went for the box crop to have the angle of "agitation/conflict" on one diagonal and the two nests on the other. In fact, I brightened the entire image a little more than I wanted to lighten that grey. Should have selectively brightened that area. You can see the same thing on the far wing of the wood stork.
