    From early morning today. The bird on the right was preening the one on the left for about 30 seconds or so. It looked very gentle and romantic to my human eyes. There were few other coots in the same place. Not sure what does this behaviour mean in Coots world...

    Great interaction with 2 good head angles. Love the sweet light, gorgeous BG, and low angle. Nice exposure too. Maybe a little more canvas on the sides and up top.

    Sweet light, nice low angle and nice interaction captured. Nice colors in the water and the bg.

    I love it. The colors are great, head pisitions great bg great. It's all good. I don't think the space added made much of a difference So Im going with the original.

    You mention you added space to the top of your repost but it looks like you added to the bottom. I have to go with the original KILLER image b/c I prefer it without the extra space at the bottom. The colors, light and intimacy here are really amazing!

    Thanks for your input everyone! Marina you're right of course! I have sent the wrong repost. Here is the correct one...
