I keep drooling at the shots that others get of spoonbills in dramatic colors. This is from 2003 at the same ranch in Mexico we visited this year. The spoonbills were not in the same locations. As a matte of fact the species seemed to have varied a bit also. I remember not changing the image itself, but just doing adjustments on it and getting this noise and so on. I wish I could remember what I did.
I liked it then and hope you do so now.

The spoonbills have distributed themselves really artistically! Lovely colours and the BG noise gives it a really good textural quality.

This would look superb printed out really BIG! :)

This is a very attractive rendition, I'm sure it looks awesome in the base image also.

Colors are really becoming 8) :D Excellent :)

Hi Steve
An appealing image that been nicely composed and I like the additional grain because it adds a nice textural effect to the image. A winner in my book

Regards
Matthew

I really like the grain and sun dog effects -- great choice of bg for the spoonbills... 8)

reminds me a bit of migrating geese against a winter moon...
