You were robbed, it shouls have been a top 10.
04/29/2005 05:22:03 PM
I gave this pic an 8... now I feel terrible underrating it in retrospect. This is a 10 pic, sorry I did not see it like that before. Absolutely magnificent.
Congratulations on the top20, hope to see you with a ribbon soon.

Crazy looking bird. Nice job on keeping it sharp. Must have been one quick click.
04/22/2005 01:40:56 PM
Rosette Spoonbill, very nice capture.
04/22/2005 01:13:47 PM
Good spoonbill picture, I go to Lake Martin in Lafayette Louisiana to photograph these things.
04/21/2005 12:09:10 AM
Should be a contender, I would think. Obviously perfect. The only thing I could imagine preventing this doing ribbon, would be that it is just a bird shot: it perhaps lacks mood, if you understand me. But as a bird shot, it's perfect.
04/20/2005 05:00:22 PM
simply beautiful. can't do anything with an image like this but enjoy it. well that, and maybe say 'wow'. good luck!

Magnificent! Detail and colours are over the top. This is, just right.
04/19/2005 04:55:13 PM
Wow! what a gorgeous bird. Great job of focusing and stopping the motion, not easy to do on a bird in flight.
04/19/2005 03:43:00 PM
Wonderful capture.
04/19/2005 03:29:18 PM

04/19/2005 09:47:13 AM
How striking!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
04/19/2005 06:19:07 AM
This is such a wonderful capture. I like it a lot. I only gave it a 7 but wanted to rate it much higher. The reason I did not is because by just applying autocontrast in PS it was improved greatly and by applying an additional simple red color adjustment it made it even more spectacular. Perhaps you are a believer that the camera captures the scene as "it really was" and therfore do no want to make post processing adjustments. If so, you will come back to this one later and fix it after you realize that what a camera captures pales in comparison to what the human eye can see. Kudos to you for a super capture.
04/19/2005 01:13:11 AM
