Superb clarity--crisp & clear features and smooth fluffy plumage textures!

Gorgeous illumination.
Great framing against the contrasting cool blue sky...

That dead trunk adds dramatic touch to this delightful avian portrait!

Good perspective & long depth of field...

Thanks for sharing...

a great portrait of this roseate spoonbill posing for you at the top of a dead branch; sarp focus and excellent details; perfect exposure control for the white;

Such an odd creature, but you photographed it very well. Standing on the log, he seems to be saying "Look at me!" I like the clean sky and gray log. The latter ties together the grays in the photo.

Bravo on white balance control Barbara! It can be controlled in the bright sun and you prove that here. Love the captured pose of him on top of the world here. Great focus, sharp details and fine eye clarity.
Fine bird Photography!

A beautiful bird in a great uncluttered setting. I like this profile view and the fine detail in his head. A great composition with fantastic colors.

A very nice nature photo posted here! The birds location looks pretty precarious!! Your fine composition captures an enjoyable moment. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Comment from Joanna Bachman


His spoon bill,above his orange gems of eyes;his delicate rose red and pink plumage;and,his long legs straddling this seasoned limb.The ultramarine blue sky,behind him,contrasts,so,well,with his colors,too. Yours,is a striking photograph!
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

A really nice capture -he is standing on his thrown looking down on the world loll - wonderful view point and perspective , excellent framing , you waited for the perfect body position and you got the perfect second to have him as half portrait - clear and sharp, excellent color saturation, contrast, lighting and exposure - a well taken picture with a nice initial impact , well done
