 2 spoonbills performing their mating ritual deep in a Mississippi swamp nature preserve. Actually, I don't know what they are doing but it looks like a mating ritual doesn't it? I took this picture at the Baltimore Zoo. It was cropped, increased saturation, contrast and sharpness.

Great capture of a moment. Colors look realistically vivid, but the photo looks a little underexposed.
