I watched how about a dozen Roseate Spoonbills played with mud (hence the dirty neck and face) on the distance when out of the sudden they decided to fly towards me one at a time. I like this one for the color palette . Captured in Belle Glade, Florida with the Nikon D500 Handheld and Nikkor 200-500.

Good flight capture here. Like the wing position and the strip of green at the bottom of the background.
It is a very pleasing image. Beautiful colors and good wing position on the Spoonbill. It looks tack sharp on my monitor with good feather detail. The two tone sky and green vegetation line at the bottom compliment the pink colors. There is a dust spot above the right wing you may want to remove.
I like the flight angle, sharpness and details. Composition wise for me the green strip at the bottom is almost too thin for me but that is personal preference. I would be thrilled to have these beauties go by me one at a time. Very nice image Juan!
Hi Juan,
Yep he does look dirty but this is a very nice pic. Good sharpness, exposure, and wing position. Well done.

A very nice shot. I like the green strip but could see a version without because you do have some distant clouds to break up an otherwise plain blue background. The light angle was a little harsh leaving deep shadows and black outline but that is a minor thing. Good job on this one.

Excellent incoming flight pose.
I wasn't sure about the strip at the bottom at first but I have decided I quite like it. It anchors the image well,

Nice raised wings and colors throughout. I agree the strip at the bottom is a good anchor. I would brighten up the image a little bit and add a touch more contrast. I think that would round things off perfectly. Small change but would help the overall presentation for sure.
Very nice looks almost 3D on my screen. Love the BG colours along with the green on the bottom. Very nice detail on the bird and a good flight pose. The head and eye look real good.

Very nice Juan. I agree with the others about keeping the green strip as an anchor. I think he's looking straight into the lens. I like the colors...yeah he's dirty...but that's what they do...root around in the muck...the dirt just makes it look more natural. Thanks for sharing.
