    Thanks to Capt. Shadle for a nice morning at Alafia Banks. Lots of young spoonbills.

    Very cute! I love the interlocked bills. I like that part of the picture so much that I wish the other 2 birds were not there! But nature is nature and this is still a lovely natural pose. I like it!

    Really like the interaction of the two locking bill, very neat. Nice control on the whites and good low angle. The overlapping of two birds on the right make it looks like two headed spoonbill

    Other than pointing your lens another 1 1/2 inches to the right you did quite well. A Linear Burn on the highlights would likely not hurt.
