Thank you to everyone for the replies! Here is an updated version of the original image, I cropped keeping the same aspect ratio which eliminated the distraction on the right hand side as well as some of the top and bottom. I also adjusted the brightest slightly and reduced the contrast. This may be one of those shots when editing on a corrected monitor would be very beneficial. Once again thanks for all the replies and do you like this updated version any better? Also when I took the dog out this morning there were 3 GBH and I saw the Great Egret but it was a good half to 3/4 of a mile away but it is still hanging around the area.
