One of the best spoonbill images I've seen on this site. I love the crispness of the bird.

I like the pose, soft light, colors and details. The BG and low angle add to it, too. There is a slight sharpening halo around the legs but not a big deal. Maybe a little bit CCW rotation.

This is sweet. The pose and the light are what it's all about. I agree with Axel on a little CCW rotation and the halo. I like the "look" of this one.....guess your MkIII is back and working again.

WOW! Great soft light. I love the overall mood and pose. Very sharp.

Well, you already know how I feel about this one Jimmy. ;) One of your best! - Ken

P.S. This looks like it was a little warmer than Ottawa!

HI James,

Love the pose. I have to agree about the rotation. The pose is very lovely and the feathers are a huge plus in this image. When was this taken??
