Shot this morning. I waited at the edge of the water for these birds
drift towards me with incoming tide.  I was pretty low,  almost at the water level.
I love the cool crisp fall mornings.

1D3, EF300mm f/2.8L USM NON-IS + 2.0X TC II (600mm f/5.6)
1/400, ISO-200 f/8.0 on the tripod.

Please click on the picture for uncompressed view, thank you.

Edit: As Carol suggested I corrected the rotation of the picture.
        Thank you Carol.

Sweet poses and reflections but a bit of CCW rotation is needed to level this one Ludo, it tilts down to the right.  I can also see an alternative vertical composition with just the two birds on the right side working nicely!

Thank you all for the kind comments.
Carol thanks for the suggestion on rotation. I rotated it originally, but not enough. I corrected it now, thanks again.

interesting scene with the reflections, well done. Did you get any wider shots showing all birds and the whole reflection?

Thanks for the kind words Jan. Yes I have another shot similar to this one,,,it shows few more birds on the left, but doesn't show whole reflection, actually it shows even less.
