Beautiful! Yes! Wonderful light and supurb captures? Yes! You ever seen the goof-balls land on a branch? No? Well they always over-balance and teeter forward - they are NOT graceful! Must be their exceltionally long face....
Thanks gale! Brings back fond memories of shooting in florida Haha they are a bit funny looking for a bird. Thanks david! Good to hear from you..where have you been hiding:biggrin: Thanks a bunch glacier. Thanks Louie..I was glad and blessed to see so many on my trip. Hey mike! Venturing into the bird forums ehh:wink: :biggrin: I have another spoony with the colors of the last one and reflection of the first but its a bit of a tighter crop and the water colors are somewhat darker than the first. I will print one though that is for sure..decisions decisions:biggrin: Thanks frank! I have been enjoying your merritt shots and other users merritt shots as well.
Pretty colors, nice shots, Jonathan! I have to admit I have mixed feelings about this species ... looks a little dinosaur-ish and scary. I don't see them over here ... maybe if I were used to them I'd realize they're okay?!
Thanks guys! I know what you mean miko sometimes I wonder how I would view these if I knew nothing about birds:wink: :biggrin:
I was next to you when you took some of these shots and mine dont look any better for sure- Excellent series Jonathan!
