You have a couple of sensor dust particles (NO NOT THE BIRDS) just above the horizon line towards the right. A bit of a glow around the crane, I'm wondering if you dodged this a bit. It is a romantic scene and a great catch.

How did you do to publish an image larger than 5000 pixels wide while the limit is 3500? Did you pay bribes?

I wonder if these mate for life? Do you know? Canada Geese do. This group of gorgeous guys seem to be posing for you and their eyes have been caught in the stare. Good marginal space all around, sharp, well contrasted, natural colouring. The kind of image that makes one pause and slows the beating of one's heart. Nice nice nice

Thank you for the comments. Yes, from what I have read, I do believe that they mate for life.
