Two Great Blue Herons in breeding plumage all wrapped up in love for each other.

NWF only allows extremely limited processing. They get the RAW file to check.
I just noticed, I as in a hurry to upload. I should have cropped a sliver off the top and the side for better balance.
One of my favorites.
Great capture!

If birds could only talk and we could hear...I can only imagine what they would be saying.
Could not be more a more beautiful capture
Incredible shot of these birds.
I see that NWF limits your processing. Would they allow you to play with the exposure and contrast to get dramatic whites and blacks in the plumage? That change alone might bring this from a 3 to 4 in my eyes.
Wildlife at it's best
