Stunning!

This is a beautiful bird. I don't think I've ever seen one. You have captured the plumage in great detail.

I love how the bird stands out against the dark background and I enjoy seeing just a hint of its legs as they blend into the background.

Very nice!

I love spoonbills! Their pink feathers are gorgeous. You captured this beauty well in your photo! The dark around the spoonbill gives this artwork a melancholy but still lovely air.

What a beautiful bird! The pinks in particular. So rich, so vibrant and the dark makes the whole of th pink and whites in the head pop even more. Fine job.

    Welcome. Fine work. Really like that pink creature. Thanks for asking. I have had a time with the bad case but feel may be on the other way down. Don't feel it would have been as bad had I not fought diabetes too. You are so kind, Aunty Jan, and good to hear from you again.

Wow! I love those gorgeous pink feathers!
Well photographed, nice angle of shot and it's a nice placement of the bird within the frame. The dark background emphasizes the bird so well.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Jan,
A beautiful picture of the Roseate Spoonbill in profile the light highlighting it's rose pink plumage covering it's back, wings & tail & the shine in it's lone spoon shaped bill. It's head & neck plumage covered in off white feathers. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting that makes it glow out from the dark background. Taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.
Susan

the bird says ..."oh honey it is the latest style right out of the everglades! do you like the color?" then the bird flutter her eyes at ya..lol..oh i just couldnt resist. this is a cool capture Jan. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this partial pink bird is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

This is a very beautiful bird with such a special color combination which is outstanding as this color and these sections are very attractive for me, so this entire bird is excellent, and your picture is perfectly created with a super angle and position and a super close up, so we can see again all details of this special bird, congratulations and all the best of luck, xoxo
