Courtship Ritual

I witnessed this display between two great blue herons one morning.  One of the notable things to me was the great difference in size, which usually isn't very apparent.  The female is the smaller bird.  This also occurred after the nesting season.  The display went on for quite some time as they moved up and down the shoreline.  I have altered the image quite a bit in an exploration of how to render it less photographic and more painterly.
