Portrait of spatula bird (Platalea leucorodia)

For this photo I wanted to use the square format and the composition

in diagonal to give more emphasis to the peculiar beak shaped like a

spatula which gives its name to this bird, thanks for your comments

What a great photo.  The square format and diagonal line works very well.  Pleased that the eye is tack sharp.  Excellent b/g too.  Bravo!

Great composition and details- Beautiful bird with red eye -

Dear Giangiorgio,

You have certainly captured the essence of this fine creature. Beautifully done!

Tim

What a capture.This needs to be viewed large where it is more impressive.I think this would also look as good if you were to sacrifice the square format and frame this tighter from the top and bring more focus on the eye.Just something I would try to see.Excellent work!

Meilleures salutations-Laurent

Is indeed a very interesting portrait caught and idea for tight crop seems to be very good for purpose you had,i like too that moment caught was exactly with an water drop on beak,very good one again from you.

my best regards

Giangiorgio, ottimo il taglio ed il particolare, complimenti !

Come al solito un piccolo-grande capolavoro!

Grande nitidezza e bella composizione, con la gocciolina in cima al becco che rende la foto anche più "speciale".
