Here’s a Roseate Spoonbill from a local rookery taken this spring. Taken at last light, I liked the clouds.

Looks good from my phone. We often overlook the sky when photographing birds in flight. The cloud add an essential feature to the image. The spoon bill is fun to look at too…Jim
You could not ask for a nicer fly by. An excellent look at both undersides of the wings. Nice and sharp, soft feel to it, and subtle clouds break up bg.
Beautiful bird, beautiful light and a beautiful sky, Nate. My only nit is that the angle of the bird’s flight feels a bit awkward to me. I downloaded it, rotated and used Content aware crop to fill the corners back in. See what you think.
Beautiful bird, but the first thing I noticed was also the clouds. It’s a rare treat when lit clouds give you a nice background, and you took full advantage. My only nit is that I’d like to see the frame larger.
