The Spoonbill Trio

[Nancy A Elwood]

Hi all. I went out on a boat Saturday, just off of Titusville, to a small island which is a rookery for all sorts of birds, one of them being the Roseate Spoonbill. This one I thought was a bit different. Taken with the D300, Nikon 70-300VR, f10, iso 800, 1/1000. All C&C welcomed.:)

Thanks Rene:). You know I waited and waited for that fellow to do that and he/she just would not cooperate.:D

That's a real beauty Nancy. Even the branches pick up the repetition of three. I also really like the pose of the left two eying the viewer. It nicely shows off the bill shape.

Hehehe, the three tenors look great. Head angle looks fine to me. They seem to be in breeding colors.

Really a fun image...I like it as is for its uniqueness, interest, and beautiful colors.

Nancy:

I like this image so much, I have looked at it several times. Lots of good points already mentioned.

It is such a strong image from a graphic standpoint, I might try to push it further by cleaning up some of the extra small branches, remove the leaves below, just play up the three birds, three perches theme.

Really a fun one.

Thanks for sharing
