A nice capture, and the waves and water drops give it a nice energy. Good work on the whites.

Nice sharp look at the Ibis and the water adds interest.

Excellent detail in the Ibis, Matt, and I love the frozen breaking wave. A very good image.

Matt, nice job capturing this in such an interesting setting. I think the incoming wave adds some nice texture.

Your whites are definitely not blown out, but overall it almost looks a bit dark on my screen.

Really nice Matt. I had a great time photographing Ibis last spring in Florida. The breaking wave is great and the frozen drops at the right add a lot to the sense of action. You captured sharp detail in the Ibis and the colors look very natural too. Well done!

Nice view of the Ibis. Good detail and the whites are perfectly exposed. Looks like Fort De Soto is a good place to go for bird photographs.

Excellent, I love the bird's expression and the clear parts of the wave. Cheers, Hans
