Colorful Spoonbill

[Daniel Belasco]

I finally captured a Spoonbill in the kind of light I like. He was very cooperative giving me head angles in every direction and closeups gallore. I will try to post some better closeups with more acceptable ha later. I did like this wide angle shot however.

Look-back pose and reflection look good, I could also see this as a vertical crop. The reflection of the bright BG competes a bit with the bird.

Very nicely composed, Daniel, and congrats on getting the image you wanted. I think that if you darken the golds a little bit, it would improve the feel of the image. TFS.

A real treat of colors and patterns Daniel. Nice reflection and look back. The BG does compete a bit with the bird but it is a beautiful arrangement.
