Togetherness

Beautiful composition in a natural surrounding. The red tube and diagonal line are making a nice angle for the couple, as well as the blue sky. well exposed well done.

You can barely make out the babies in the nest - I think there were two in this nest and three in another nest.

Pity Kim, It is impossible to see them, and I'm sure it was interesting sight, but the image is very nice because of the birds details and very nice surrounding included.

Great shot of Mr & Mrs Bird watching over their nest.

Great family portrait...As all of your work, perfectly and carefully composed.

Thanks, everyone. This was a great day, seeing the herons and babies.

Two protective parents on an oil barge. There were three nests on

this small deck! Comments?

A nice and sharp picture of the birds, I especially like the way they stare towards the right. But the metal contruction on the left is unfortunately pretty annoying.

good pic of the birds but why did you leave in the red bar at the bottom? 4/5

I chose to leave the metal parts in because I thought it was interesting that birds would build a nest on an oil barge. I have pictures of herons "in the wild", but this mix of nature and man's influence was a statement on life for many animals nowadays.

Looks like they've got themselves a "fixer upper" of a nest. Cool shot. I'm jealous. I haven't yet been able to see a nest low enough to catch a view inside. The metal's fine and as you say, they chose to nest there. Nice work.
