    Early this summer on James Shadle's boat in Tampa Bay, young spoonbills, recently fledged were still begging for food from the adults. Standing in the water with tripod.

    Hi Susan -- It looks like it takes quite a feat of coordination for this food transfer. You've caught an interesting activity that I for sure have never seen so thanks for that! I really like the way the eye matches the bird. Cool image.

    Susan, Nice behavior shot. The reds seems too saturated on the adult bird.

    Hi Susan:

    I absolutely LOVE the action/behavior you captured here, and I am green with envy. However, there is a serious issue going on with your image which appears to be in post processing. There is quite a bit of noise in your photograph and it looks as though something went wrong when you were resizing. I will defer to one of the moderators to help you with how to determine what happened and how to correct it. You have lovely light here, great behavior and it's going to be a killer shot.

    Excellent interaction, and I like the pink / green colour scheme. The BG is just a little too busy for my taste, and I see the same noise issue as Marina points out. Not sure if it's a sharpening/resizing/heavy-ish cropping or other PP (or combo of all) that caused this (especially evident in lower half left edge of the image, but also in other areas as well)
