    Default Reds & Pinks on Valentine's Day!!!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This was taken in early morning light out on the Hooptie Deux this morning. We had a great group out on the Alafia Banks including James, Artie, Peter Kes, Randy Stout and two workshop participants. What a great way to spend a Valentine's Day morning...surrounded by flying birds sporting red pink breeding colors...not to forget their orange tails. I know the reds are clipped. Clipped when converted to sRGB and too tired for any fixes. This spoonbill lit up like a Christmas tree in the early morning light.

    Happy Valentine's Day to all!

    Marina:

    So nice to meet you in person! I haven't looked at my images yet, but hope I have such a nice pose to share.

    James always provides a great outing.

    Cheers

    Great image, I might try to lighten the background just a bit, but it's great like it is.

    Hi Marina, great landing pose with the raised wings, sharp, and the spoonie pops so well against the darker BG. Sounds like you had fun.

    Cool pose and amazing glowing pinks! I wish the feet were just a little brighter but this works well as posted.

    I love the pose and the angled light. (And I very rarely care for sidelit images....) The WHITEs of the neck need more density and detail. Great job of holding focus against the mangrove background.
