Would love to see the spoonie as a straight shot. Looks like a good capture. I feel this might be a bit over processed.

Very interesting effect, Bill. First thing came to my mind was the lighting as if it is stage play! Spoonbill in attack mode on unsuspecting egrets!

Bill, This is certainly different for you. I like the way the Spoonbill seems to glow-it's like a night vision image. I might evict the one stick on the left edge of the frame and the red/pink thing under the spoonies head if it were mine.. Neat!
