Thank You Dear!

[Ed Cordes]

This couple is obviously in love. The male in the back was continually bringing nesting material to his "wife", who is showing loving gratitude in this image - To my eye anyway ;)

1DMK2 with 100-400 @ 400. Manual metering at ISO 200 with EV zero. F 5.6 and 1/640. Vertical presentation cropped from horizontal.

Thanks for looking. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

A fine behavioral image Ed. :) Love the tender interaction here. I would run some NR on the background, just seems a little speckly. :) Thanks for sharing.

Great interaction captured here, and love the turned heads towards each other. I agree with Akos that some NR in the BG would help this a lot. Well done Ed.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great moment captured, I also like the details and would run NR on the BG. You could also raise the color temperature a bit.

Very tender moment of the couple. she looks really happy. Agree it could use some NR on the foliage. Well seen and captured!
