    Default Spoonie in Flight

    From High Island a week or so ago. I liked the sense of the marsh in this one. Did almost nothing to it except usual minor Levels, NR, USM, and slight crop for comp.

    D7000, 700mm, ISO 800, 1/2500s @ f/7.1 manual, gitzo and mongoose.

    Great image Bill! Lovely light, great IQ, nice wing position and a very cool looking bird in flight. Well done!

    The spoonbill looks great, and I too like the sense of the marsh here. Pink on green looks really nice.

    Super flight shot in a terrific setting. Love the partially open mouth too.

    Super sharp image, with loads of detail and great lighting. Wing position is very nice, and you can see just about every feather group, I really like the splayed primaries.

    Very nicely taken image, Bill.

    Love the backdrop etc. Great image.
    The only flight stuff I can get are Sparrows !! You have some gems over there. Hate to say it but having some exotic stuff cetrainly helps to relieve the boredom !!

    Nice and clear, the BG is OOF just enough and the pose with the open bill looks great. Well done Bill
