Another African Spoonbill

This one was taken late in the afternoon from my car window, using a beanbag.

Wow! This is really nice. I've never seen one of these, but the reds just look unreal. Maybe desaturate the red channel a bit?

The perfect little drops are a nice touch, and probably look even better at a larger size.

Great portrait, I like the light, details and colors. I might give it a bit more room and remove the shiny white spots on the head.

Hello,

Perhaps a little more room would make this composition work better. Try to post your images at 800 pixels for better view.

Hi Isak!

I really like how the nice long bill starts in the lower corner and diagonally goes straight for the sharp and detailed head/eye ... and then you have a nice "S"shaped neck also! Background is also very nice. The two tiny water drops makes my eye wander ... so I'm not sure if I would leave them, or be tempted to clone them out (depending on your ethics).
