Hi Abhijeet. Yes. Shovelers are ducks; Spoonbills are wading birds. The only Spoonbill that I am aware of in the U.S. is the Roseate Spoonbill. These are fairly large pink birds similar to egrets. |

Thank you Nat. I'll experiment with your suggestion. |

Wow indeed, that's great action, Isaac. It elicits feelings of excitement and a touch of fear and makes me wonder how this turned out. I liked the sky in the OR but the leveling was necessary. Nice job on the PP for the darker dog. |

Well done, Kent. The pano crop works very well in this situation. I like this composition but the bulging, lighter cut end of the log bothers me a bit- just a bit. I'd try the same crop but pull the left and right corners in so that the log runs across the whole picture and there is less sky.
An aside, spoonbill is a nickname. The common name is Northern Shoveler |

Abhijeet, I remain jealous of your opportunity to photograph exotic wildlife. I hope you have a Tiger safari on your "to do" list. Regarding reflections, I'm also in the all or nothing camp. With your crop, I think adding some vignette would help isolate the rhino. |

Neat shot, Bruce. You handled the whites well. The cloudy sky was your friend in this situation. I like the slight wing blur, too but wonder in this case if a higher SS would have provided more feather detail in the wings. We're going to BDA next week. Hope I can get something as good as this. |

Thanks Isaac. I wondered how that happened, too. The ridges in the sand suggest that the wind or water moved around the leaf. But why didn't it blow away? Isn't Nature marvelous? |
