What a handsome fellow!!! The colors are phenomenal, and I like the way he is "strutting his stuff"! I wish I could see him in the wild myself!

I have never seen one in a tree so this is very unique and cool.
Your focus is sharp, white balance Controlled and details crisp.
Colors are true and natural and the pose in the tree is priceless.
Nice work Shadow!

Wow! Look at the colors on that bird! Looks like he has a fancy pink jacket and black boots on! Great color and detail in this shot and nice natural background. Very nice!

A beautiful subject in great lighting. The composition is excellent and the colors are fantastic. I was wondering if spoonbills are more common the further south in Fla. that you go. Best wishes in the contest.
