The side on look of the bill is amazing - there bills are so wide yet so thin - very nice shot.

Wacky sky colors. I guess I'm a little distracted by the odd catchlight (feels a little weird to me). But the pose and side profile are really illustrative of how odd this bird is.

I'm also a fan of a little vegetation in flight shots - nice composition here.

Another excellent flight shot. The touch of greenery at the bottom and the morning light certainly make this one a winner. I am amazed at your spoonbills over there and the shots you get of them.
