    Took this image with Stan at the St. Augustine Gator Farm. I post-processed from the raw file again since I have learned alot since I last touched this image. I would love any suggestions for improvement.

    With Ricardo's assistance I used photoshop to move the left-most branch towards the center of the image for a better overall composition.

    Love the wing position and the "dynamic" feet. Also love the soft lighting.
    If I were to print this, I would clone out the leaves at the bottom left and the twig bottom center. Just cleans it up a bit. Might also lighten up the Spoonbill head a tad. (Hard to tell, it may be different on your monitor.)
