Very nice capture. The clarity of the ibis and the background bokeh are great.

Hi Geoff,

Nice shot! I took the liberty of moving this to the Avian Gallery (those look much more like feathers than fur! :wink: ) - hope you don't mind.

Cheers...

Brad

Many thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Brad for the move. I didn't even see that. Appreciate it.

You did well with the light you had and the pose of the ibis is very nice. I don't mind the wing motion and the BG sets it off nicely.

Very nice landing shot, Geoff. Nice light and that background color is great.

Interesting effect with the really sharp face and the blur in the wings. Fine image.

Nice action shot and wing position of this ibis. I'd personally tone down the electric green BG a bit, as it competes with the bird, imo.

Nice flight into the image. Well composed and good techs on the bird. I might consider darkening the background just a bit.
