This image was created last spring in Viera Wetlands, Florida. The water level in the pomds were low thus attracting many of the wading birds including the Roseate Spoonbills . .
.Nikon D2X, Nikon 600mm F4. ISO 200, 1/250, F7.1. and a gitzu tripod with a wmberly head.
All comments are appreciated. Thanks !

Excellent image, I like it a lot. It might also work as vertical crop.

Wonderful image, I really like that you got the reflection in
the image.
Also love the action, including the little splashes of water.

Very nice shot, Judy! The water splash gives it a nice touch.

This qis quite lovely Judy, love the pose and reflection.
Water splashes have the nasty habit of picking up heavily on the sharpening, so what I do in cases like this is either sharpen on a layer and erase the effect in the splash, or go to your Photokit softening brush, blur #1, go once over it, then reduce the opacity of the blur.
Wonderful work!

Beautiful capture, great reflection, and love the splash, but would like to see a vertical crop to remove some of that huge blue expanse on the left....Gail.

Just a beautiful image. I love the pose. It could definitely work as a vertical or as a bit tighter horizontal.
