Became a bit frustrated while trying to isolate and photograph some spoonies in gorgeous light. As you can see, it appears to have been siesta time. Therefore, went wider to see if I could make lemonade out of lemons. Not sure I succeeded, so your C & C would be much appreciated.

Marina, I feel you have thought this out very well. The standing spoonie with two resting spoonies on either side. Colours look good, all four in perfect focus, and the only thing I would change here, is add a touch to the RHS.
Marina, I understand your frustration, it happened to my in Portugal with the Eurasian Spoonbill, but I think you maid an excellent joob, love the composition and the light, well done...
I think it turned out very well Marina. The exp is right on, the reflected colors on the water are great, and although the birds are not on plane they all look fairly sharp.
