Love the wing and the water splashes!!!!!! Good detail! Something about the head and neck sorta bug me but I'm not sure why?

Oh like the light too.

Hi Harold - Gorgeous bird - love the drops of water and the take off action. OHH FORGOT - Wing position is perfect

Could be just my monitor - whites look a littlle over.

[Harold Davis]

hI harold - ahh....... I think AL actually told me that anything over 240 will look blown on the web even though it's not.

Great job - love that water just hanging in mid air.

We have a couple of spoonbills out here - only white as far as I know though. Have noticed a bit of a difference in a few of them lately -- not sure if the are young ones, but they have a pale orange patch around the eye area.

I like it Harold,
I love the action here nice colors and nice dark green background. The wing position is fantastic...:cool:

I love that pink and green combination and especially with those wings and the trailing water. Good one!

Great capture my friend. Had not logged for a couple of days so I had not seen this post. Excellent focus, exposure, composition, and background. One of your best flight shots.
Congrats,
