I gave this an award in the past and the system won't let me do so again. It's still a wonderful image, great work.

Location
This was taken in a marsh close to my home, Colombo Sri Lanka.Time
Early morning as the sun was rising.Lighting
The morning light hit the clouds painting them orange.Equipment
I was testing my new 100-400mm mark II IS USM lens on a Canon 5D mark III.Inspiration
It actually was VB competition to shoot silhouette images.Editing
I had captured only one bird, the other two were from another image edited in.In my camera bag
Canon 5D mark III, 100mm macro, 70-200mm mark II, 100-400mm mark II, Lee ND filter set, Lee big and small stopper, Lee polariser, tripod.Feedback
Its best to plan a shot rather than hoping for a lucky shot, specially if you want to enter images for a particular assignment or competition.
