Sid, One beautiful image! Lighting is great! No nits from me!

[Tony Whitehead]

Well done, Sid. The pastels of the bird leap out against that intense blue BG. I really like the wing posture and intense look of concentration.

Sid,
I like the colour combo. The wing spread is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wow Sid, beautiful capture of this spoonbill alighting - the wing posture puts it over the top for me - well done..!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like it for the same reasons stated above. I also love the outstretched feet, very cool!

[Nancy A Elwood]

Sid, very, very well done! They were sure putting on a show. Nice clean BG with sharp action!

[Jasper Doest]

Lovely pose Sid...you nailed this one. My only nit would be your shooting angle, but it was impossible here to get at eye level...you certainly made best of the situation!

Hi Sid,

This is very nice man... I really like the feet!! I watched them for a while but didn't get nothing this good! Spoonies are at Gatorland and I can't wait until they start nesting!

Beautiful shot Sid. Think I ran into you at Gatorland on Sunday, it was my first time there..... incredible place for a guy from the great white north!
