Excellent close up of the dozing Ibis. I like the angle you caught here. It's a wonder they don't get neck ache! Lighting and focus very good showing great detail. Very good composition. Suzanne

Phenomenal Exposure. Perfect in every way. The detail and intricate detail in the feathers is fantastic. The depth and detail in the beak is also exemplary. I rally like the angle of the shot and admire how you have the beak lined up at an angle with the top left corner of the frame. Skillfully captured photo. Well Done and Congratulations on a superb image.

Here's a sharp looking ibis, a no tech bird in existence long before the iPod, iPad, or iPhone, i-i-i. Has great lighting for white exposure and attractive complementary colored eye and beak. Nice contrast between beak and white plumage. Stands out from background well, an overall very nice composition.
