Great blue heron in the midst of his mating courtship on Valentine's Day. I rather like this humorous point of view! Thanks for looking.

This works real well Shawn This symmetry makes for one strong image The eyes look great Would crop the bottom Don't like the oof vegetation and want to see more of the head !!!! I like it a lot !!!

Great pose you caught, especially with both eyes showing. As mentioned, perhaps less veg at the bottom by cropping just below where the veg makes it to the sides of the frame.

Very interesting pose and I like the composition. From the thumbnail I thought that is something from Cape Canaveral. :)
