Tampa Bay Spoonbill...

Another image from my wonderful weekend with James Shadle on board the Hooptie Deux. Based on feedback from my previous image, I chose this one to process next. It has a lower view angle and I gave it more room with the crop. I hope everyone enjoys the result.

Beautiful flight image. I like the slight blur in the wings :)

Fantastic photo Dan, great details and colors.

Awesome. Just a touch hot up on the shoulder area, but that can be toned down easily enough.

No nits from me,big congrats!!!

Sharp and a good EXP. I like this a bit better than the first one. Next time out, try to concentrate on the birds in mega-breeding plumage... Would also like to see more of the far wing.

later and love, artie

Nice wing position, gorgeous colors, and excellent detail ! Nicely done !

Would like to see a bit more room on the left.

[Blake Shadle]

Really well done, Dan. I think this includes a lot of the suggestions from the previous image. I'd really love to see a full up wing position on an image like this, so both wing tips are visible. I'd be happy to have this one.
