excellent whites and well timed on the plumage display. I liked the comp. as well...a little more space below would be nice. Your rookery is so much better to photograph than the one we have in Dallas.

Thanks Kaustubh,

You need to visit the rookery at High Island. I suspect that there's a lot action there by now. :-)

I like the fanned plumage. I would tone down the white bird intersecting the leg and the tree trunk in front of the bird. Do you have a bit more room on the bottom for the feet?

Thanks Gail,

I will try a re-crop with a little more at the bottom and tone down the white behind the leg.
