Young Roseate Spoonbill

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

It was interesting as I saw this one flying with several others and at first I did n ot realize that it was a spoonbill unitl later and then I was able to capture it on its own.

Love the background and a screaming colorted adult would have been killer against this :)

The whites in the neck look a little hot although I don't think they are blown and it may well be simply the starkness against the background.

The near wing tip blur distracts a little.

I like the eye contact.

I love the SH and the position of the head against the far wing. But, even if the near wing were sharp I would not like it--that crooked near-wing is pretty much my least favorite wing position especially when the bird is flying pretty much parallel to you.

Exposuer looks fine to me Judy, and overall nice and sharp.
