    Default Cropping Cattle Egrets in flight

    I had my Camera less than a month when a whole group of Cattle Egrets stopped by to check out the woods just south of my house one evening in April. I switched the camera to AF and full auto no flash to get this shot.

    Shot as a JPG not RAW
    The 70-200mm zoom was at 150mm
    f5
    1/250
    ISO -400

    The egrets didn't choose my woods for their spring/summer rookery so there is no retaking of this shot. The critique section only allows one image so I am looking for comments here not trying to offer a how-to like others

    I was not happy with this before:


    Cattle egrets



    Cropped to this with nothing else done.

    Nicely cropped. You're right, the original scene was a little too busy and the birds were partly obscured. Now it's much more balanced. I also like the contrast between the wing positions of the two birds.
