This was taken in an open salt marsh pond early morning.
There was light, enough to see the birds. Many were just silhouettes, others had a little more detail but not much else. The water reflections looked like the could be good.
I say all this because like any photographer a huge pond filled with wading birds will be photographed. A lot, and many different settings.
Ultimately I did get some decent shots, a few really good ones too. Everything needed some post processing, but even film gets a dodge and burn.
These shots were a ‘note to self; just shoot what you can.

Really nice, love the soft colors.
Thanks. The mangrove was filled with wading birds, some close. The light was really dull though. Shot everything anyway, got this. And… a good number of Reddish Egrets LOL. Just didn’t know at the time. Could have been Tricolor 😝
