I really like hese 3 resting spoonbills. I prefer this composition over the one showing 6

Thanks a lot Ken for your kind appreciated comment, glad you liked it

Great composition, nice harmony of colors, ciao Sandor

Sandor I appreciate your beautiful comment

This is a masterpiece oh high key composition, almost white all around and the beak and three legs only almost black, reflections in the lake water, pure perfection, amico mio! Complimenti! PDE

Grazie mille Pierre for your generous appreciated comment

Giangiorgio..Master...you have done it again with a striking image of these elegant birds!I have never seen one of these in real life,but this is better,so I'll save in my Favorites!Bravo et salutations amicales-Laurent

Hi Giangiorgio, great composition. I like that you were able to get all three close together, facing same direction, and standing on one leg. I'm heading to Florida in early March where they have Spoonbills, but those have a lot of pink in them. Are these white ones a different species, or perhaps, a different phase?...Respectfully, Bill

Laurent your comments are greatly appreciated, glad you liked it

After a little research, I answered my own question. The pink versions are Roseate Spoonbills, (ajaja)...Bill

You must be a choreographer as well as a fine photographer, your subjects dance for your camera so beautifully.

Beautiful and hilarious!!

Very bright and light but well controlled exposure, Giangiorgio. A very dramatic presentation done with masterful precision. A spectacular image. Best regards, Paul.

Bill I thank you for your visit and kind comment

Bill surely in Florida you will take many beautiful photos of the Roseate spoonbills, which you will then show us

Jack thanks a lot for your generous comment

Grazie mille Warren for your nice comment

Paul I am glad you liked it, many thanks for your beautiful appreciated comment
