I like the L shaped branch here Luke, if it were mine I would crop out the knot on the right, just enough light on the face to make this work. :toast:

Really excellent soft light on this Luke. The large version does this justice. I personally like the knot you left in the frame. On the thumbnail, I thought it was a frog looking at the Ibis. :biggrin: But, real nice exposure on this. The sky seems to have a pastel feel to it and I actually like that. On the large version, it really brings out the eye of the Ibis.
BTW...I don't understand how this only has 1 comment so far. The lack of comments is why I haven't posted in awhile. Why post on a critique forum if no one critiques?

Kurt - thanks for the comments. Sadly, I feel the same way.... every now and then I feel encouraged to post and put up an image, only to get a few comments and then cease posting. Looking at the bird galleries it's just sad how few comments photos generate compared to a few years ago.
