Symmetrical Spoonbill

Brevard County, FL. I was using 3d tracking with animal detection on all flight shots that morning. (Was wondering why it says 10/25000 rather than 1/2500 sec.)

Well, it's obvious to me that your camera simply slept through the math class that covered "reducing fractions". In all seriousness - I have NO idea about the 10/25000. What I DO know is that I love your image!

That's about perfect, Bobby.

Amazing photo, bucket list quality !!

Stunning image, Bobby! That soft light really deepened the breeding colors!!!! Guess that 100-400 is up to the task - in your hands! LOL! Would love to see that one printed on metal! Do IT!

Great pic. Nice idea with symmetry.

And this 10/25000 was second thing I have seen and my mind went "wut"?

Thanks. I slept through many math classes too and still noticed that. Interesting, but at first glance I thought it said 1/25000.

Thanks Karen. Gary was in St. Augustine yesterday and I took him out to a little birding place I found, and during our conversations out there he convinced me to learn about post processing when I retire. Should be interesting...

Excellent plan! I agree. But in fairness, your images are so dang good, they seldom need much post processing!

This photo is literally PERFECT, except for one tiny tiny minor thing. I’d like to see how the image looks if ti move the bird up in the frame a little, it looks pretty close to the bottom right now especially since third heading that way.

Thanks. I see your point. I can't remember intentionally centering a bird image before, but I just did it here for the symmetry thing.

in case I wasn’t clear, I’m fine with the bird’s position in the frame horizontally. I think moving the bird higher(up) in the frame would be ideal.

Beautiful shot.

Now I know how Batman felt when "The Penguin" flashed him.
Awesome shot, that's most definitely a wall hanger.
