This two Great Egrets were also photographed in Deep River Ct.  They were part of the four Egrets found in the marsh that day.  The photo is cropped around 10% and touched up in lightroom.

A nice pairing, Peter.  Detail in the left hand bird looks good.  If they were cooperative and you had the room to maneuver, a few steps to the left to put them closer to the same focal plane and prevent overlap of the birds would have been nice.  Given your shooting parameters, you also could have stopped down a bit more to give you some more dof.

What Dennis said, except I don't mind the overlap at all since it's not white on white and it seems to contribute to the 3D effect.  Great Egrets sure are beautiful birds and you got a nice shot of them, Peter!
