Great shots KT! I like #2 the best due to the angle of the bill. Good sharpness overall and detail on the underside of the wings.

These are some great shots of the spoobill. We saw a couple of these while in Lake Nakuru. They really are some neat looking birds. I really like the 2 side few shots of them flying low with the water. Very good job on these.

The second two really displays their awkward flying position.

Well done.

The second sets has nice colors and really show off the Spoonbill well. I love that angle in the first set. It is one not often seen, but it works. Nice work.

Like the 2nd set best for the better contrasting backgrounds!

Nice KT, I also like the second set best. I believe showing some environment is essential to the photo.
