Cheryl:
Always a challenge to change the settings for the conditions, esp. ISO which we don't think about as much as shutter speed and aperture. Often as the light gets brighter, we really should dial down the ISO to max out quality, but it takes constant reminders , for me at least.
I like the head being in the clear, flared primaries on the back wing, touch of pink reflection,
In a perfect world, would prefer him rotated a bit more towards us to see more of the wings head on, rather than in profile.
Looks like a pretty young bird.

I think it all gets harder to keep focused on remembering as I get older as well

Hi Cheryl, we are all in the same boat - when the action starts, our hearts race to capture everything at once, and after everything has died down, hopefully we had the correct settings for the sequence. Lots of space to land into, love the show of the far primaries, and your pink spoonies are so much more attractive than our drab white spoonies.

Glad to see you were able to capture some spoonies while on your trip. This crop doesn't quite work for me. There is too much on the bottom for my taste, esp since there is no nice reflection.
It's easy to forget to adjust an ISO as the light changes. In this case 1/4000sec was quite a bit more speed than you needed for a flying spoonie.

Real nice landing shot. I really like the wing position. I would be very happy with a shot like this one.
Well done.

Still a great shot Cheryl! The framing is fine to me! Exposure is good! Not sure you've already done it, but run NR in the background so that the photo doesn't seem to be as noisy.

I agree with your self critique Cheryl, but still a nice image that brings back good memories from Florida. Forgetting settings is something we all do...I photographed a sunrise recently and only after the peak action passed did I notice I was at 1/8000s. and ISO 800 So don't feel too bad....
You gotta pay yourself a little treat and get a ride on the Hooptie Deux...
