Very nice moment capture, I like the effect you've applied. If you had enough canvas I might have moved the heron a bit to the right, making the female a bit more centered or cropped it a bit but that just my opinion. Thank You for sharing.
I love the position of the herons, especially the one flying in. Beautiful details! Great colors. Nice composition. I think you could crop from right and bottom, but, fine as is.
I like this one very much, all around great. Was not fond of the other one, but couldn't pick out why, I think the foliage was distracting. This one the foliage is broken nicely by the Female. Great Capture!!!
