You know I love your Spoonbills as much as your ducks. Beautiful position which makes a wonderful image.

Really sweet image KK...I'd consider removing that one black spot directly below the bird.

Very cool pose and I like the hanging legs and the details and exposure. I would remove the black dots also. Well done

Really nice pose and light KK. If this were mine I would clone out the dark spots in the background to give it a cleaner look.

A really great landing pose caught here KK. First thing I would do is get rid of those four OOF blobs.
