A pair of Royal Spoonbills (Platalea regia). Moved myself to get the dark background to contrast with the white birds.

ISO400, 1200mm, f8, 1/3200, with a Canon on a tripod.

+1.  I was about to say...good move, but Karl beat me to it.  Nice image and great exposure.

A nice balance of dark and light, and I like the alternate facing poses of the spoonbills!

Greg, the lighting in contrast with the dark background creates a very dramatic image. The technical aspects are spot on, and the reflection is the ideal finishing touch. Great job!
