Beautiful bird, light, wing position. Mud flat not too bad. BKGR; U-G-L-Y. :) I would tone down the bright mangrove trunk between the birds wings.

[DanWalters]

Great light and I really like the outstretched wings.

[Dave McGowen]

Wow, great pose and feather detail.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful wing span, great light and head angle. Well done.

[Tom Redd]

Sid, love the color, the light and the pose. The background is what it is, but if you could tone down the mangrove trunk/roots a bit, I think it would crank it up a notch. Still, a beautiful shot to be very pleased with.

Very pleasing habitat image Sid. I actually like the BG and think it makes this image and gives a sense of context and habitat. Beautiful wing span. Would consider toning down the bright trunk between the wings but noting else.

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful wing position and colors. I agree that I like the hint of habitat but would tone down the bg highlights. I'd be pleased with this one.

Sid
Great colors on the spoonbill and wing position
Although i like the darker bkgd colors, i find the shapes of the mangrove trunks compete with the bird. Another option would be to apply a blur filter to make them less noticeable
