I was fortunate to go out with Capt. James and Marina a couple of weeks ago, on the Hooptie Deux. Always a great time. The spoonies were continuing to tweak their nest decorations, and gave us some nice flybys.

I particularly liked the arrangement of masses in this image, seemed to balance well to my eye.
What a lovely image, Randy. The pink on the far wing really stands out. The nesting material is a big plus, and I am really liking the green of the mangroves below! It was great seeing and shooting with you and James, and what a beautiful morning it was!! I'll be out on the Houptie Deux for the next 2 with my workshop, and we are hoping the sun will finally shine!!!
Nesting material is cool, but when it has green it's even better. I'm a fan of the "wings down" position but you have enough light under the near wing to make this work. Nice blurred bg/environment too.
The green of the lower trees along with the nesting material really make this one pop with the nice pinks of the bird against the blue sky. Good wing position and HA and I like the details you captured. Very nice image Randy.
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You. www.davidsalemphotography.com
