    Wasn't able to get any lower and the sun was in and out of the clouds -- but -- was great to see my first Florida Spoonbill

    Nice pose, colors, and head angle, plus the water dripping off the bill. All good. It seems that the image could be a lot sharper and that there is a lack of fine detail throughout....

    Good HA and overall pose. I do find the saturation and contrast a bit strong. Were there bits cloned out from the water? There seem to be a good number of "soft spots" that could be the result of that...

    Congrats on your first spoonbill...they sure are spectacular birds!!
