Flying Lessons

On Memorial Day I got an unexpected sighting of a mother Spoonbill teaching her 3 young to fly.
A lot of the shots had serious wing clipping , but the main problem was the dark mangrove background. To me it ruined an otherwise nice shot. Here is my solution.

    Robert, amazing shot you have here and I like the fact that the background is dark which makes for these Spoonbills stand out nicely here.

    If you can find an outlet, that shot'll sell. It's really special, IMO.
