This is the same group of Egrets I photographed on a salt pond in Hammonasset Beach State Park,CT. I used a mono pole and cropped it by 20% into a 16 by 9. In Lightroom I adjusted the highlights, black and clarity. The next groups of shot will more interaction photos.

Nice action here Peter, I think getting effective shots like this one are not easy largely because of the difficulty of getting multiple birds which are close and large in focus. Here I like the center 2 birds, but some of the other birds which are out of focus are distracting to me. In this situation sometimes I try stopping down more - to something like F22 to try and get more birds in focus. You lose some speed but if you can still get the heads sharp of the ones in motion it can make for a neat shot. devil
