Great interaction here Sandy, always difficult to decide where to crop an image like this, I think I would have cropped a bit higher, just above the bare part of the leg. :toast:

I really like this composition Sandy. The mating poses are awesome. The flowing feathers on the front Heron are awesome as well. My only small nit is that I would tone down the eyes a bit. Probably as shot but they appear unnaturally bright.
