Picture was taken at the beach of Fort DeSoto in 2010.
I heard from local people that this couple had been around and together for years.
They still might be there.
Thanks for looking.

I live 45 mins away and haven't captured this duo together yet. I guess I just need to camp out there while they are in breeding plumage until I capture them.

Absolutely love the interaction here. The BG is gorgeous. The FG doesn't appear as pleasing, and I think I would crop from the bottom a bit since that portion detracts from the picture IMHO.

[Joe Senzatimore]

I'm with marina on the crop. I ,think the inter-action is super as is the detail and story behind the image.

[Arthur Morris]

I used to live at DeSoto and never saw a dark and a light morph together much less interacting :).

I agree with all the positive above. I'm with the bottom-croppers but not much; just enough to lose the REFL of the body and the feathered part of the leg of the white one.

Karl, very nice interaction and bird angles. Exposure looks good as well.

The left bird seems out of DOF range...what was the f-stop?

[Karl Egressy]

Thank you all.
Kaustubh,
I had no access to the info as the Breezbrowser was running and I couln't open the old file, then I left for shooting.
I would add the info to the originap post but I don't know how to open and edit once I posted it.

Here is the info:
Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Aperture-Priority AE
Tv 1/400
Av 9.0
Evaluative Metering
ISO Speed 400

very nice light and interactions the reddish looks a bit soft to me.

[Troy Lim]

Karl, I saw them together two weekends ago.

[Ofer Levy]

Lovely interaction captured. Looks a bit soft.

Confused by the above. All that you need to do in BrBr is double click on an image to see the Main View with all the EXIF info...

Sorry, Artie.
The BrBr was running and converting an other batch of files, that I just shot or I wanted to convert, I don't recall.
If BrBr is running I cannot open DPP to check for Exif data unless it is already open.

[Arthur Morris]

OK, I get it. I no longer do my conversions having switched to ACR 100% of the time about 2 or 3 years ago..
