Bill, I love this one! Very adorable soft color tones. I like the pose and nice details. Maybe a bit of noise on the underside areas. Very nicely done Bill!!!

Very nice pose, Bill. Like the colors and details. I would run some NR on the BG.

I really like the way you composed this one and the soft colors. Nice to know that you are finding all these wonderful birds on Braes Bayou. We can coexist with the critters.

Appreciate the feedback and observations. Patti: I am also somewhat amazed by the birds I find there; a section of Brays Bayou next to Arthur Story Park, near the West Belt and Bellaire. There are two flood control reserviors, north and south of the bayou that has alot to do with the birds being present. However, spoonbills and especially the one wood stork are exceptions and I'm sure just passing through. regards~Bill
