Good DOF Ken, and I like the slightly raised foot. Good detail and colours arond the head and bill, and just love their blue eyes.
Nice! I like this one alot. You got a great low angle from the boat. I like the raised foot, and the vertical comp. I only wish the mud ball obstructing the leg was not there, and I would the the black area's impact in the BG close to the head. Perhaps also tone down the brighter vegetation between the legs. Everything else looks great.
Interesting spoonbill Ken. Not big fan of square comps but I think it works fine here.
I like it as presented, except the mudball Daniel mentioned. Very nice Ken. The pose is good as is exposure. :) TFS...
I like this pose Ken, good eye contact and position of the bill and as mentioned the low angle.
Thanks to everone for their kind comments, it is pretty muddy along this stretch of the channel, which is why I would not follow Artie's advice to get out of the boat:)
