1DMk2, 100-400 w 1.4xTC, ISO200, 1/250, f/13, fill flash, full frame.

Taken end of last January at Ft. De Soto. I wish the bird on the right had not been quite so sleepy -- thought about opening that eye, but didn't.

The two sleepy heads nicely frame the center bird who is alert. Artful crop. Great head position. That reflection puts this over the top. Nice! :)

Nice one Christina, I wish the 3rd was turned more towards you and with his eyes open a bit more.

Christina,

Very nice shot of this trio. The depth of field looks good with all three birds sharp.
