Two of these were hanging out at a local pond. Lots of activity out there right now: white pelicans, comorants, woodpeckers, and all the herons and egrets.
Is the OOF reflection in the BG distracting?

Cool capture and excellent exposure. The water droplets are a nice bonus. I find the dark band running through the center of the image a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing Aidan.
