    Default Roseate Spoonbill - repost

    I have re-processed this photo, taking into account previous recommendations to add canvas on the right, clone offending background egrets, and lighten belly and underwing of the spoonbill. I used Nik Color Efex Detail Extractor on the shadow areas and overly bright areas to bring out some better detail.

    Once again, all comments appreciated.

    Barry - Great flight shot here, love the sharpness you've captured. Even though you can still make out details in the BG I don't think it distracts that much. Nice to see the pink and green together.

    Excellent flight shot. Love the way bird pops up against beautiful green BG,wing position,colors and great IQ.

    Very nice flight shot. It's sharp, and the wing positions, color and background are all very good. One suggestion might be to crop some off the left side and a little off the bottom. That would make the bird less centered, and provide proportionately more space in the direction in which the bird was flying.
