Mirror image with repost
Shot these guys a while back and they have been hiding behind eagle shots. There are almost always a couple of GBH sitting in a ditch on the way to the lock& dam, there is also a kingfisher there occasionaly and I am trying to catch it. Liked the reflection and the double bird shot.
OLympus E510 600mm eq 1/320 f7.1 ISO 100 cropped and a bit of sharpening.

This is a fun shot, Kendall. Well seen. I think I would crop or clone out (or both) the branches in the LLC

I like the effect and would like to see it cropped in a bit, to put more accent on the birds/reflections.

Here is the shot with more crop and I still had a bit of branch so cloned it out.

Great capture, Kendall. I thought these guys went south for the winter season.

I like it, Kendall! Really brings the focus to the birds/reflection!

Nice...the cropped repost works nicely.

The crop works does exponentially more for me than the original. Well done. One other suggestion if you want to give the shot a bit more "pop", would be to adjust the white and black points. It's a bit flat as-is, though certainly not a deal breaker.
