    Wonderful addition to the series, with what looks to be an approach for landing, Bill. Very sharp detail, BG just soft enough, and love the concentration.

    Nice spoonie Bill. Love the landing pose and concentration the bird has staring at the spot it will land. Nice colors and background.

    Hi Bill, great head on capture here, together with good eye contact. Good DOF, sharp, and the spoonie really pops from your BG. Well captured.

    Great image here Bill, the bird really stands out and sharpness on important areas is spot on.

    BG does not bother me in the least and it gives a real feel for the habitat.

    Love the incoming pose, and the BG works for me. Nice colours, and good details. I could see a version with some cropped off the top as an option.
