This Spoonbill made a grand entrance and flew in just as the sun came out for all of two minutes in the early AM. Once the Spoonie landed the sun went behind the clouds again for hours.
It was also a pleasure to see Al & Fab Forns as well as Mr. Harold Davis today!

That dude was there two weeks ago *sleeping* behind 8000 people and plants. It was early, windy, cold and miserable. UNbelievable shot, and I'm totally envious (no critique of PS work here, just HUGE admiration for great field skills :)

Lovely, Michael. Love the graceful curve of his neck, and the tack sharp eye.

[Fabs Forns]

Always a treat to see a newlywed :) especially looking so good!

I missed this one totally, was turned the other way looking at the nest against the light, posted what I was doing above.
You got great warm light and good detail.

Hoope to meet Theresa soon!

Michael;

lovely light here, soft shadows, colors. Nice to have the head clear of the wings. Subtle clouds
I might add a sliver of canvas to the left.

Cheers

Randy
