I was shooting some egrets at the Dallas rookery when this White Ibis flew into the tree right in front of me. Sometimes lady luck is on your side. Comments and critiques welcome.

Beautiful look at the breeding colors! Exposure looks great, very sharp, good detail. Great composition, and I love the position of the bird and wings.

Great catch - nice pose, bright bedding colours, interesting perch and sky.
Well-done!

Nice capture of a fellow all decked out to breed. Good work on the whites and blacks, and perfect depth of field.

Wow Jerry. Luck is right but you did your part to get this. You even got good details in the whites. The head turn is great as well. Terrific. I'd rather be lucky than good any day but it looks like you were both.

Way to go! Maybe Lady Luck, but you did a great job to adjust from what you were doing to capture this. Congrats!

This is wonderful. Only suggestion is possibly to lose the foliage to better highlight the lines of the branches it's perching on.
