    awesome courtship display captured. would takeout that big strip on top with huge signature as it grabs all the attention. Right bottom corner oof patch can be an easy fix to make this more interesting to me.

    Fine detail and inter-action. I might crop some off the left side to get the subjects out of center.

    Right bottom corner OOF patch, what do you mean? I blurred the stick etc to make it less eye catching.

    Nice interaction, and beautiful colours. With the herons facing each other I am OK with the centered composition. As far as the OOF area in LRC, I actually think it would balance the image nicely if it were DARKER (same tone as opposite corner). I love the red berries adding a dash of colour to the tree...very cool!

    What a beautiful shot! How fitting that the space between their necks is nearly the shape of a heart! lol

    The colorful branches really make this special.

    Mital, I know what you were talking about. I still like to have watermark the way it is. Can never have enough of that.

    Daniel,
    Thank you. Do you think I should clone the LLC to LRC?

    Another vote to remove watermark/banner at top, and branches at bottom right. Otherwise, great shot.

    I think this is a really fine image, but I for one miss the shooting data. I really enjoy that. Maybe you could include it next time.
