I love the interaction. In my mind, this placed too low.

Really beautiful. I do like the composition, the interaction between the two and the way they really stand out against that dark background (great DoF)!

A lovely study, you have captured such an intimate moment with great sensitivity. Both animal behaviour and habitat shown at their best.

These herons are widespread throughout the world. As far as I can tell they are native to every continent. Lovely interaction image well composed. It seems a bit soft but the light is also very dull perhaps reducing contrast and wow factor. Pleasant and believable "wild" image.

awesome capture, and IMO technically perfect exposure and focus and dof. Nice warm reddish too. Loves it.
