Picture was taken at the beach of Fort DeSoto in 2010.
I heard from local people that this couple had been around and together for years.
They still might be there.
Thanks for looking.

I live 45 mins away and haven't captured this duo together yet. I guess I just need to camp out there while they are in breeding plumage until I capture them.
Absolutely love the interaction here. The BG is gorgeous. The FG doesn't appear as pleasing, and I think I would crop from the bottom a bit since that portion detracts from the picture IMHO.
I'm with marina on the crop. I ,think the inter-action is super as is the detail and story behind the image.
I used to live at DeSoto and never saw a dark and a light morph together much less interacting :).
I agree with all the positive above. I'm with the bottom-croppers but not much; just enough to lose the REFL of the body and the feathered part of the leg of the white one.

Karl, very nice interaction and bird angles. Exposure looks good as well.
The left bird seems out of DOF range...what was the f-stop?
Thank you all.
Kaustubh,
I had no access to the info as the Breezbrowser was running and I couln't open the old file, then I left for shooting.

OK, I get it. I no longer do my conversions having switched to ACR 100% of the time about 2 or 3 years ago..
