I liked the curvature of the wingtips; not crazy about the BG, though. You'd think it would be easy to make it more attractive, but I'm really fumbling with it. PS skills aren't up to snuff.

Comments, constructive criticism, and re-posts always welcome.

Good light,

Craig, I'm with you. Without PS skills, the background is difficult. Like the bird. The placement seems a bit off?

Good-looking Spoonbill and catch. I guess you could select the BG and change the color. Actually, I don't mind the grayish tone since it goes well with the pink plumage but I might crop some off the top and right.
