Another Tender Moment

Although not in the same league as Sandy Richards' awesome Wood Stork "Tender Moment" photo, I wanted to post a photo with a similar theme that I had taken several years ago at High Island, Texas. The image is of a mated Roseate Spoonbill pair where the male is clasping the female's bill in his own as part of their courtship ritual.

A nice, intimate capture and very nicely lit. I'd like a little more room on the right; it feels a little cramped to me.

Very good, Paula.  Excellent job on the focus and gorgeous colors as well as the great interaction.
