Thanks for giving me a look at these amazing birds. I like the content, and I like the brightness and the contrast between the dark birds, the light ground and the green vegetation. The only detraction to my mind is that the foreground bird is a little blurred - though it must have been a difficult capture as I'm sure those guys didn't stop to pose for you!

Nicely seen and well titled image, lol. I think that if you adjusted the levels on this a bit, perhaps dropped the midtones and upped the contrast, this shot might appear to be sharper :( Do you use any of the topaz software? It works wonders with over exposed shots like this!

Perfect title.
Great color tones in this.
A really cool looking bird.
Good Composition.
Lighting is just a bit high and I'm sorry it is soft on mine--sometimes uploads do odd things or honestly it could be the light creating the effect if you bring up your shadows perhaps the focus will pop up more.

I think often times images uploaded on Fan art suffer in their colour reproduction and sharpness...Great image..love the colours in this shot and the seemingly crossed legs of the bird in the foreground are priceless.Excellent background..one can really appreciate their natural habitat.

Awhh, I wonder 'why, it came out so soft.. if you do redo putting the photo back in here.. I'd like to see it, Fred:( It sure is a different kind of walk that he's doing.. almost like he's getting ready to twist back around and look at you;) I like that you didn't crop out the other bird or clone it.. it better showing them following each other. Thank you for sharing, Fred.. like I said (if) you do repost please let me know:)-Cindy

What a strange creation by Mother Nature! They do not appear to be scared off the humans and are not scampering about! You have timed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like the upload softened it a bit Fred but still a neat shot of this bird. I've seen ibis before but not this interesting variety. I've always been amazed at their beak and the curve they have. Good shot of this endangered species and thanks for the view. Hope it didn't trip over those crossed legs.

Comment from MKFlood


i guess judging by their beaks they must be like a ant or termite eater right? the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the birds is great. the capture of the light is great. overall great job.

Comment from gidavidson


Looks very good here Fred, the exposure is a bit bright though. Except for the Ibis beak, they kind of look like a turkey. Good frame and a colorful strange looking bird.
