Great Blue Courtship

From Venice Rookery a few weeks ago. This half of the nesting pair was busy showing it's intentions.
Cropped slightly for posting , otherwise full frame. Slight levels adjustment on the sky.

400 ISO f6.3 at 1/5000th

Should be "Courtship" Opps!!!!!

[Frank Schauf]

Very nice pose and details.

[Mike Landwehr]

Joe, I like the subject, perch, background and composition (though I would add just a touch more canvas at the top). A perfect head angle (often difficult to accomplish on these shots with the outstretched neck). The image looks over-sharpened on my monitor.

[Marina Scarr]

Love pointing pose. Could see a little bit more canvas on top, and I think I see a blue cast on the entire picture.

[Nick Palmieri]

Beautiful pose!

[David Salem]

Nice pose with clean detail and exposure. Looks good.

[Grace Scalzo]

Excellent pose. More room up top could work.
