This was taken on my Florida trip awhile back. This was the only spoonbill I saw during my two day stay, so I was glad to have the opportunity to make a few photographs of this one in the early morning light.

The colours and the lighting on the spoonbill, stand out so well against the dark background, in your image, John. The reflection in the water, are a
nice addition to the photo, as well.

looks like in studio shot and the low angle is a plus, well taken JOHN.

The "spotlight" effect on this with the dark background is just lovely.

Nailed this John. Beautiful light on the spoonbill, which is set off brilliantly against the dark bg. Well done!

This is really lovely-the reflections, glowing light, and dark background are especially pleasing.

Love the way you handled the difficult lighting. The colors of the Spoonie really pop.

Couldn't be any better, John!  Exquisite detail is the finishing touch.  Excellent!
