The Kiss

This was shot today, my first time out with a Tamron 200-500mm lens.
This had to be taken quickly and from above- no way to get lower. I like the way it looks like they are kissing. Not the best light either. Cropped about 45%. Some work on elements 8. Time taken was late evening.

All comments would be really appericated.

I am not sure he is appreciating her attentions. Lovely water. Compliments the colors of the wood ducks nicely. Wish the action was happening where we could see his face better.

Interesting interaction, he seems a bit underwhelmed.

Sally, I also wish the male was turned more so his face could be seen. He had his back to the camera in all three shots, then they swam away never showing his face. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
