Nicely composed and the whites and pinks look good. Good reflection as well.

Hi Allen
For the comment.
Peter

Great job on the whites, and it gave the vegetation a nice look as well, Peter. That’s one incredible fern behind the Spoonbill.

Peter, what a great spoonbill. I like how the fern over on the left balances the bird. Would you have any more of that fern (perhaps meeting in a point?) - probably not, but it’s a lovely shot anyway. Where was it taken?

Wow, very appealing! Beautiful bird placed perfectly in the frame and nice comp. The dark green BG contrasts the pink well, and the drip off the bill is just icing on a fine cake.
Excellent!

Hi Dennis, Mike & Sandy
Thank you for your kind words. Mike the Spoonbill was photographed in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands in FL. and her is the full frame of that shot.

Hi Peter, nice detail and color rendition of this spoonbill. Love seeing that striking red eye so well. The reflection is great too. All the vegetation is another great point of interest to this shot. Well done.

Thank you for your kind words.
