This recently fledged Roseate Spoonbill was photographed on the Alafia Banks with James Shadle last year. I really like the lush greens of this capture. You can tell it's a young Spoonie b/c of its pale pink color and the black wing tips. They are such fun to watch and photograph, and I can't wait until next season!

I like the detail and the pose. Well done. I might clone out some of the red circles in the BG.

Really nice shot. I love the wingspread and the dangling feet. Beautiful details in the pale pink feathers and tack sharp. Perfect comp. A keeper for sure,

Sharp. Nice image design. EXP right on but you might wish to tone down the WHITEs a bit. You handled the somewhat bright light well.
