Beautiful, Sharon. Great colors. Nice detail in the feathers and a nice reflection.

Sharon:
You did a good job of capturing the gradations of red and pink on the spoonbill. I like the water setting, the reflection, and the full view of the spoonbill. I like the image as presented very much, but think I would like it even more if the eye were slightly more visible. That's a very minor quibble with an excellent shot. :toast:

Very pretty photo, I like the pinks against the dark water. :smile:

A nice comp Sharon. If this were mine I might brighten the image globally just a tad.

Right ON, Sharon. I had to checkout the larger view first to take in the beautiful detail and colors of this spoonbill. The water and it's reflection on the birds side plumage adds an extra nice dimension of realism. Very well done!

Love the way you've captured the beautiful colour and textures of the subject's plumage Sharon :^)
