Herons seem to find my walkway productive, in their daily search for fish dinners. I expect it's obvious it's a slightly doctored mirror image. Just thought the sense of purpose in the strides seemed interesting. The title isn't meant to denote a tryst. More a meeting of Spies. Too many LeCarre novels :-)

I can imagine the exact spot where the two herons will meet. Excellent detail / colors & I like how you slightly off-centered the mirror image. Creative work, Doug.

Very nice post work in your image, Doug. I like the look of the water in the shot.Good thing you caught this clandestine meeting. I can't wait to see your take on the Pelican Briefs.

Hi, Doug...

I'm happy to see that you and your new computer are up and running. While you were downloading and updating your software, you somehow accessed my Caedes friends list and removed yourself. Please try and be more careful in the future.

I never really noticed it until you mentioned the meeting of spies, but the herons have a striking resemblance to the spies the comic strip Spy vs. Spy in "Mad Magazine". On a separate matter I like your shot and the mirror manipulation. I know how to mirror a whole shot but not a portion. I'll have to check with Doug and see if he can give me any pointers.

My only suggestion to improve this shot would be too oversaturate it and then convert it to a graytone. :-)
