Vierra Wetlands in Florida on a very windy and cold morning just moments after dawn a month ago...

Fantastic capture!
Could not ask for more in terms of the action/behavior with great pose, both birds in same plane of focus with excellent detail where it counts on both birds, and good looking nest with clean sky background. Windswept plumes are a nice touch as well!

Seems to be a slight color cast to my eyes but it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong about that.
I have attached a repost where I added a Color Balance layer with the Magenta/Green slider at -5 and the Cyan/Red slider at -3. See what you think.
Wouldn't mind a bit more room on the bottom and maybe a tad on the left.

Absolutely awesome capture. Love the comp, sharpness and detail. Couldn't see the colour cast myself. I couldn't improve on it at all.

Mike...

As subtle of a difference as your repost is....I think you were correct and I thank you for seeing better than my eyes did :)

Great action here ;) I've tried a average blur color balance from APTATS 2 and it remove blue to give more yellow. I realy like the action here ;) Congrats Jim !

Beautiful image!! I can hardly see any difference between the 2 versions.

Got to agree with Ofer. Dont see any difference between them.
