I was fortunate to go out with Capt. James and Marina a couple of weeks ago, on the Hooptie Deux. Always a great time. The spoonies were continuing to tweak their nest decorations, and gave us some nice flybys.
D4 500 AFS f/4 f/6.3 1/3200s ISO 800
Post: slight crop from left, selective sharpening, bit of DE on underside of near wing.
I particularly liked the arrangement of masses in this image, seemed to balance well to my eye.
Advice and comments always appreciated
Cheers

I like the flight angle, nesting material, exposure, sharpness and composition. Very well done Randy!
Great image the colors are outstanding and the nesting material really makes it stand out
Excellent flyby shot, Randy. The nesting material in the beak and the nice green at the bottom makes this image special.
What a lovely image, Randy. The pink on the far wing really stands out. The nesting material is a big plus, and I am really liking the green of the mangroves below! It was great seeing and shooting with you and James, and what a beautiful morning it was!! I'll be out on the Houptie Deux for the next 2 with my workshop, and we are hoping the sun will finally shine!!!
Thanks folks for the feedback.
Marina - hope you are blessed for the workshop with some sunny weather!
Say hello to James for me!

Excellent flight shot of beautiful and colorful spoonie. Superb exposure and details. Nesting material looks artistic.
Very nicely composed. TFS.

Nesting material is cool, but when it has green it's even better. I'm a fan of the "wings down" position but you have enough light under the near wing to make this work. Nice blurred bg/environment too.
The green nesting material really puts the icing on the cake.
The green of the lower trees along with the nesting material really make this one pop with the nice pinks of the bird against the blue sky. Good wing position and HA and I like the details you captured. Very nice image Randy.
The mangrove adds a lot to the shot, I like it better than just blue sky.
