Great wing position and I really like the slight angle toward you, Allen. Excellent image.

WHAT a sensational shot! It’s a really attractive subject matter, and I love the way the feather texture under that right wing is popped by the light just so. I’ve been to south Florida with camera in hand hoping to see some of these beauties but never saw a one. I have Spoonbill envy :wink:

Super sharp, beautiful light, and great wing position. No nits from me. Love seeing these birds.

One of the best spoonie flight images I’ve seen - excellent detail, tack-sharp, perfect not-over-saturated colours and clean BG.
Sweet!

Wonderful light and pose. The detail is outstanding. Well done. heading to Florida. I would love to get a flight image this good. Thanks for the inspiration.
