A very nice image with the ibis well placed in the frame. Excellent exposure for the white plumage and a bit of a catchlight in the eye. A sharp image with fine colors.

What beautiful bird! Of course that nose is something else. Is that a part of the genetics (I am in the US and do not know lbis). the format of the landscape is well done and the DPF is good. You caught her in motion with one foot up. Very well done!

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like it was still worth a visit after all! a great snapshot of this beautiful and jurassic like bird, taken with good clarity and focus. The DOF is good and the natural lighting shows up the colours well. The murky watery background brings the colours and that long beak out even more, and nicely positioned to the left. Great shot.

I've always thought these beautifully unusual birds,with their curving 'scimitar shaped' beaks were utterly fascinating creatures and your pleasantly colorful photo of this one looks Great,my friend!
