Male Great Blue Heron offering a branch to the female at their nest on the island at the Venice Rookery. This is my first posted image on BPN! Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Don You caught them with their courtship antics Good exposure and sharp You also picked the correct pair to have a pleasing bg Would suggest getting the right bird totally in the frame They look odd without legs When the pair gets closer is easy to go vertical Looking forward to many more !!!! Congrats !!!

Love the interaction here and the overall image with a great BG has a very pleasing look to it . I do agree with Alfred on his above comments. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent image of this behavior, you did great. I agree the legs being cropped take away form this one, love the colors and the soft, muted bg.

Welcome, Don. Very nice first post. Great interaction and setting, clipped legs have been mentioned.
