Snowy Egrets Dancing

While up in Virginia last week I went down to Assateague NWR with another photographer, and even though they were a bit far from me, I just happened to be shooting a few shots of these guys in the marsh, when they began the dance. I was shooting handheld, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm L lens at 400mm, f6.7, 1/1000, ISO 320. I cropped to 61%, edited in Lightroom and NIK. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Great action, Shirley, and it looks like you nailed the focus. Some of the whites look pretty bright, but I think it's an accurate portrayal and I don't think they're blown out.
