JRCrowe Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc Are you new to this thread? We post one image per week.

dcstep Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The great blue herons' nesting ritual is an incredible thing to witness. Here, the male is bringing a really nice twig back to his mate, for her to place in the nest. The hand off of the twig is a beautiful ritual.
