Spoonbill (backside)
I'm not quite sure about this one, so I would really like to know what you think of it. Thanks in advance. Your comments and critiques are appreciated very much.
Nikon D80 @ 500 mm, iso 250, F8, 1/1250 sec on a groundpod.

I really like it Sandra. With that hair style it could be watching a Sex Pistols concert!!!

certainly a different view Sandra but works well I think. The lighting is particularly nice. Perhaps a little large in the frame for some but I tend to like them that way. :smile:

This works for me too Sandra. I always like something a bit different. The lighting on the head feathers works really well. :smile:

That works for me - nice to see a different approach. The back-lit feathers make this work. Lovely shot.

Cheers,
Chris

I really like this as is, but a touch more room would make it perfect. The lighting is great and it shows the bill off nicely too :toast:
