Had only less than one hour with James on the boat due to bad weather but got lots of keepers in that time !!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Alfred:

I like the transillumination of the feathers, dark and muted background, angle in frame. I might be tempted to add a sliver of canvas below.

Sure does seem like you and Fabs made the most of your time!

Very nice image Alfred, way to make the most out of bad weather. Looks like a good use of rule of 3rds on all sides. Are those little water droplets coming off its feet? I might be tempted to clone them out (personal preference).

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Dave Yes it is water and was wondering the same thing myself Wish they were more prominent ... might zap for printing !!!

[Troy Lim]

Very nice Al.
I am going back this coming Saturday...

[Stu Bowie]

Good landing posture Al, and I like the detail in the wings. The spoonbill stands out well against the darker BG.

[Hendri Venter]

You made every minute count Al. Wonderful pose with outstanding feather detail makes this a top class image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I wouldn't mind a bit more room below (and left to balance it out), but OK as is too. I love the dark weather mood to this. Percfect wing and tail spreads!

[Fabs Forns]

Very sweet captures, with translucent feathers, good hovering and open tail.
