Excellent flight shot in high key. Very nice colors on bird looking beautiful, nice BG and HA. Superb composition.

Really nice high-key flight shot, Joe. Good detail on the head. Hint of noise on the underwing.

Hi Joe, great shot what a beautiful looking bird, nice and sharp on the head and eye, beautiful colors, I also do see a bit of noise on the underwing and a bit on his body, apart for that awesome job! TY for sharing.

I really like the all white BG here Joe--it really presents the colour well. Nice sharp focus on the face/neck/body/feet with a bit of a dreamy quality imparted by the OOF wings.

Hi Joe, I do like the colours of your Spoonbills in your part of the world, as ours are plain white. The colours really pop against your high key BG, and love the light on the head and eye. I would have preferred a better wing position.
