It's tough getting all the necessary photo elements needed for a good photo to line up at the same time with roseate spoonbills - good background, good bird, and proper technical details. And you have it here - very nice!

EJ, a wonderful flight pose with the arched wings, and I love the framing and background. Excellent photograph.

Nice looking bird, great shot. I used to live in New Orleans and spend some times in bayous and Mississippi delta, magic place.

Awesome image that takes me back to S. Louisiana when I visited the bayous. Love the background.

The green makes the perfect background for this pink beauty, so much better than the usual blue sky shots. Beautifully done!
