What a cool looking bird. Really like your composition. I don't know what the background is but it sure works. Great image.

I agree with Keith. What an amazing bird. Stands out well from the background with that wonderful profile pose.

Great bird and wonderful image, Jim. I might make a ever-so-slight contrast boost to separate the subject from the background more, but a great shot as presented.

Keith: the background is a river that winds through the Park.
Nate: You are right, of course; thanks. It's a Black-faced Ibis.
