The photographer is looking for thoughtful feedback on the image as a whole, especially around the areas noted below.
We were photographing Snail Kites when this Spoonbill landed. Just an added plus on a nice day of photography.
Thank you for stopping by.

Nice one, Peter. Good color and detail, great pose. Add something you won’t find up in Connecticut.
Holy cow Peter! I’ll trade you an ibis for one of these! Isn’t it great when you get unexpected bonus birds?
Great colours and composition. I love the unassuming eye contact.
Hi Peter, very nice image! Good catch of the feeding pose and the exposure is spot on. This is a very vibrant individual so lucky you that he/she happened by. Well done.
Great shot Peter! Spoonbill is nice and sharp and techs are spot on. I like the bill going to town on some crustaceans and worms in the mud. Well done…Jim
Hi David, Glenys, Allen & Jim
Thank you for the comments.
Glenys, you are very kind.

The spoonbill is perfect and I like that the background blurred due to your focal length, because it seems at f13, my setup would have had the water behind the bird in focus. Lovely.
Hi Joyce
Thank you for the comment. The f13 happen, bacause I was trying to photograph Kites just before this Spoonbill show up.

A lovely catch, Peter. that head turn and half submerged bill really work well. It produces a kind of “what are you looking at” feeling for me.
Spoonbills are such showy birds, amazing color. Good capture.
Alice
Wonderful capture and I love the shallow DOF both in front and behind. Hope you got the Snail Kites too!!
HI Dennis, Alice & Diane
Thank you for the comments. Diane, the Snail Kites are very, very cool.
