Very similar to our Glossy Ibis you have captured this one nicely with good natural coloring and fine composition. The focus is sharp and overall detail of plumage shown with clarity.

Nice stop of this action! I like that lifted foot!
Well placed in the frame allowing room to move into. Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural.well composed and presented!

A beautiful bird and a great shot that shows his typical curved bill. A nice exposure that captures the iridescence of his dark feathers and a fine catchlight in his eye.
