Description
This was taken a few years back from a boat in the middle of the Saint John’s River in Florida with Mike Ramy. This little island was a great safe rookery for the nesting herons and egrets. This pair seemed very happy with their new accommodations.

I think I remember that island, Ed. It was quite productive, though difficult to isolate subjects at times.
These are nice images of the Heron pair. I particularly like the poses in the second and the two isolated branches balance the herons and really add to the composition.
The color, contrast and fine detail really gives these images some pop.
Nice!
Thank you very much @Dennis and @Jim_Erhardt. I appreciate your comments.
Hi Ed, nice poses you captured and great to see the pair on the nest. Well composed with room in front of the birds. The second image is lighter that the first which really doesn’t matter but I thought I’d point it out as noticeable. A fine pair of images.
Interesting Allen. I hadn’t really noticed the difference in lighting between the first and second one. I processed these at two different times. My eye needs calibration. . . Thank you, Hope you’re doing great!
