A great portrait Sid! Good exposure on the whites, a perfect HA , and a lovely BG. Well done.

Great spoonbill portrait! Nice and sharp from beak to head, love the eyecontact. Great BG. Good shooting.
Absolutely lovely. No nits from me. The BG is yummy and the whites are perfectly exposed. And you got a nice clean bill!

Sid,
Well exposed and tack sharp(as I expect from you).
The background is pleasing to be sure. Did it need any clean up?
This is also a very strong composition, well balanced with great head angle.
Perhaps a little bit of room at the top might make it even stronger.

Marvelous close-up...Lovely colors and bg...
Great portrait with a good HA Sid. Love the soft light, exposure and sharpness, and that eye is simply stunning.
Love that incredible red eye Sid. Gorgeous BG and great sharpness.
