A Venice rookery shot for the motif, captured in early overcast light. Nikon F100 and Provia 100F, 500f4 with 1.4x, 1/250 at f5.6, cropped to 4x5 from full-height vertical to improve composition.

This is great. Legs and wings everywhere, and an open bill to boot. Nice.

Good catch Matt. A bit of a blue cast that's easily corrected.

Nice one, Matt. Great position. The head appears a bit soft and a blue color cast is present.

Very nice! You caught the bird beautifully posed. As Sandy said this has a slight blue cast to it. Correcting the color cast and a bit more USM would make this even better.

I love the wing spread feathers, head and neck shape. Very nice photo.
