They are beautiful

 

[GonzoBernelli]

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 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:

I agree Jonathan, beautiful subjects and excellent images.

Thanks frank! I have been enjoying your merritt shots and other users merritt shots as well.

[Greg V]

Very nice set of images. I love the details.

 

[HarryB]

Beautiful shots Jonathan. Good work on the expsoures too.

 

[Timeout]

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?!

 

[The chemist]

Thanks guys! I know what you mean miko sometimes I wonder how I would view these if I knew nothing about birds:wink: :biggrin:

 

[andreasb]

I was next to you when you took some of these shots and mine dont look any better for sure- Excellent series Jonathan!

 

[raymond j barlow]

Nice stuff Jonathan.. I really like the first also., what a cool looking bird!

 

[jimmyc1000]

Very nice series. I like the second one the best. Good colors, lighting and strong composition.
