Love the comp. Beautiful and realistic capture of the intense light.

Groups are always hard to pull off. I like the line up but find the composition unbalanced - I'd probably go with a panoramic crop on this.

I'd also cut way bad on the saturation (the time stamp in the EXIF indicates this was taken at 2:00 pm so there's no way the light could be this color IMO).

LOove the light, but agree that the saturation is too strong. Agree on a pano crop, or at least crop out the reeds.

Lovely light - nice grouping of males/females. I like the BG reeds, but agree this might be better as a pano comp.
Well-done!
