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.

Rosette Spoonbill, very nice capture.

Good spoonbill picture, I go to Lake Martin in Lafayette Louisiana to photograph these things.

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.

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.
