Eurasian Spoonbill

[Petros Petrou]

This is from my last visit to the Kalamas river estuaries in NW Greece.
Canon 7D, 500 f/4L IS. 1/4000, f/4, ISO 400, EV -0.67.
It is about 70% of the original frame, Levels, Curves and some NR to the BG.
Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

Simply gorgeous! Can't ask for a better wing position, flight position, head angle, dangling feet with fine trailing droplets. The beautifully exposed whites stand out nicely against the lovely muted BG. Congrats on a fine image!

Nicely exposed Petros! Love the wing position, the dangling feet, and the water droplets. Great background as well, but it would be nice to work on that blue water near the tail of the bird.

This image is a stunner! Love the light, the pose, the BG and the water spray!!

This is really good.
Exposure and wings and sharpness (the beak is perfect), is first rate.

Petros, I'm not sure that you can ask for anything better than what you are showing us here. The exposure is spot on, allowing you to show the full range of detail in the wings. The wing position is lovely, and the bg is clean - just how you want it for an image like this. Well done!

[David Salem]

Beautiful Shot Petros. Love everything about it. Awesome wing and head position, killer exposure, great details and a smooth BG as the kicker. One to be proud of and definitely the best I have seen from you. Well done!
