Spoonbill feeding #2
Working on my Florida files this weekend and came upon another version of the spoonie with the fish mid air. Taken at the Eco pond in Flamingo if Everglades NP. Canon Mark 3 with the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 648mm for 1/2500 sec at f6.3 and ISO 800.
thanks for looking!
Great moment captured. I like the action, details and vibrant colors. I wish the sun would have been behind you and might desaturate the reds a few points.
Great action shot but I think I would crop it differently the Spoonie feels like he's being squashed to me.

I got there too late right after you took this. sweet action.
Like the fish. Agree with all of the above. Would add that with the light angle from the left that the face is a bit dark. Try adding 30-70 points of CYAN to the RED channel in Selective Color to come up with more natural looking reds.
