Great Blue Heron and Little Blue Heron captured at Parrish Park in Titusville, Florida. Parrish Park is an area on the left hand side after crossing the bridge in Titusville that leads to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Of all the times I have been to Merritt Island NWR this is the only time I have seen the water there so calm and color full in early morning light. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

The juxtaposition is neat but with the GBH looking away from us this would wind up in my trash bin. As presented, the WHITEs on the GBH look toasted ... Reflections and water color-look are great.

Had I been there I would almost certainly have taken the same shot. I like the colour palette. I think it unfortunate that the birds are facing the "wrong" direction.
The colour palette here is absolutely gorgeous and the setting is pristine as you could possibly want! As others have mentioned, it's too bad that the GBH didn't give you his head. There looks to be a hot spot on his neck and legs, but that's easily cloned over.
