This is the image that ended up on several 80-foot billboards in Florida last year. They did a good job, I am finding lots of defects on it after a second look. :lol:

Excellent! Just enough separation of the birds for a great composition.

I was going to say---Aren't these the biggest great blue herons in the world?! The very vertical dynamic feel to this shot is unbelievable. I don't have one even close! :) :) :)

The only thing I can see that is wrong is maybe the whites being close to being too hot, but that is such a small thing on such a good image.
