    A bit of a different view of a spoonie. The backlit wings and bill work for me.

    Joe:

    I agree with Bill, that the backlighting makes this image. Particularly the back lit bill, which you don't often see it transilluminated. Really neat that you can see the bones in the wing.

    TFS

    Cheers

    Hi Joseph, lovely angled flight pose, which in turn shows off the backlighting so well. This is different, and well done for going for this shot.

    Different for sure, This image would actually work well as a square presentation by taking a bit off the left IMO.

    Back light and translucence make this and of course a good wing spread. Nice work Joseph.

    Nice diagonal framing. Well done.
    This would work really well as an image in a field guide.
    Nice lighting too as mentioned.
    TFS!
