Lovely colors and light here and a nice pose to boot. I find the image tight in the frame on the RHS as well as on the bottom as there doesn't seem to be much room for the 'feet'. Great profile view though, TFS

Hi John, Thanks again for joining me for the DeSoto In-the-Field Meet-up session. I am with Alex here in thinking that more room all around would be better as we always want to give the bird room in the frame to breathe, and your spoonbill needs room below for the virtual feet.

with love, artie
