Taken back in the spring in a day with James on the boat. It was raining Spoonbills :)
Captured hand held from the boat, I don't get down in the water much. No flash was used, so I lit it with Nik Color Efex's Reflector, soft gold. The bird is in breeding colors, green face and orange tail.
Model: NIKON D300
Lens (mm): 500
ISO: 500
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter: 1/2500
The spoonbill's around here are not that colorful, they are pure white.
I like the colors, the light that comes through the wing, Comp, position, spread tail,
exposure, sharpness and eye contact. a lovely flight shot.
Fabs, I agree w/ Gal it's a lovely flight shot. The colors and the details are just great!
I like almost everything about this one Fabs and especially the light coming from above through the wings.
Only think I may have done differntly was to position the subject a bit higher in the frame and give it just a bit more room on the right.
lovely image , nice wing pose and exposure

Amazing flight shot with nice detail !!!
Fabs, good backlighting through the wings, and love the colour of the spoonbill. Ours here in SA are also fully white. Well captured.
Beautiful colors and details Fabs, HA is a bit marginal but everything else perfect.
beautiful Fabs., I like the head position a lot., really creates some interest.
Like it pink!
Love the spread wing and bill.
