Blue Heron Display

[Raul Quinones]

Wakodahatchee picture, afternoon shot. Got to witness the whole display from male bringing branch "present", display, and mating.
Clone the vegetation above birds to cover a brown spot and clone a small branch between birds.

40D, 500mm f/4
1/200s f/7.1 at 500.0mm iso250

Comments and recommendations are appreciated.

Nice BG, good detail and colors. I particularly like the mirrored poses and the intermingling of the stringy white feathers (excuse my ignorance of the correct name)

Hi Raul,

Very nice and intimate moment. I like the eye contact between the two Herons. You have a winner here!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great interaction, details and BG. I might raise the color temperature a tad.

Very excellent. Sharp, nice BKGR and action. Just wish for a bit better head angle for the bird on the left but IAC, wish it were mine.

ps: Bright blue lores on each bird a huge plus!

Excellent Raul !!! Can only add would have bee great having the other bird with the raised crest !!! Fine image !!!

Hi Raul,
I love the way the necks make a heart shape..........other bird looking the perfect direction would have made this even more special.

Great behaviour image. Maybe just a little space on the left side.
