This image was captured at Green Cay in Delray Beach Florida two days before Christmas. This imature spoonbill was bouncing from limb to limb. Unfortunately the sky was gray from a pending storm. This is my first post thanks for looking.
Welcome, Carey! Very nice first post. I like the pose and the gray BG goes well with the pink plumage. The bird looks a bit soft on my monitor, maybe a bit more sharpening. What shutter speed did you use?

Welcome, Carey. Good to see you posting here. The curve made by the wings is quite beautiful. You've captured the action well.
