GBH flight over my local park pond

Finally, I've taken a heron in flight shot that I feel needed no compositional cropping! Full frame. Even better, no clipped beak, feet, or wingtips. Doesn't happen often, and now I'm going to work on consistency.

Canon 5Dmk4, 420mm (Canon 100-400II zoom w/1.4X TC), Nik pre-sharpening, cloned out a background hotspot, and lowered the brightness around the edges. Output to Canon P-100 printer using Canon Print Shop Pro.
