What a great capture of a very cool looking ibis,along with it's reflection,guess you weren't too concerned about it being sacred! Really love that sickle-shaped bill on this species,and your informative notes are a good companion to this image.

While it is a lovely portrait of this Ibis, it seems out of focus or a bit hazy. I like the reflection in the water and really enjoyed reading your notes.

A nice looking bird with that typical downward curving bill. In the US I often see ibis probing mudflats for food just as this one is doing. A nice shot that is well composed to include the white reflection.

Nice shot with an off center composition that allows room for the bird to be moving across. Good color and nice reflection. This feels a little soft to me, or it could be sun haze since you are looking into the light. You could try a little de-hazing to see if it brings out the details any more. Good water and I like the rock at the bottom.

Sacred to who? I see you were not impressed by its sacredness! Your fine and traditional composition offers us an enjoyable look at your ibis and it's location. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

OH that is bad, what happened? No more food ?
Excellent capture , nice perspective - your angle creates a nice reflection and the light influx just creates kind like highway to the scene
your shot is hyper sharp, perfect in contrast and lighting - genuine color saturation and exposure - hope he found something at the end

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the African Sacred Ibis ~Threskiornis aethiopcus searching in the shallows for it's next meal under the surface of the water on which it's reflection is seen along with the sky above. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Your notes are very interesting too.
Susan
