I have posted this image before but I have never been satisfied with the post processing. I have changed the way I was post processing images in Lightroom so I have been going back and reworking images that I like. I think the image is just about right now. The settings in the camera were wrong to capture this image, I was photographing a perched bird and saw this spoonbill coming to land in the tree. I turned quickly and captured several images with the settings at hand. Image captured at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
