Bald Ibis

These guys gave me a serious run around, as they were definitely not keen on being approached or flying anywhere near me. Eventually I got this frame, which I was pretty happy with given the work involved. I realize the IQ could be better but given that this is an endemic bird to southern Africa and an interesting one, I thought it was worth posting.

I look forward to any thoughts, thanks

Some pretty amazing colors on this Ibis. Your self critique gets at the overall IQ, but eye does seem in focus to me. It may not be worth it on this frame, but there might be some more detail to be pulled from those darker feathers. Keep looking for these guys. TFS.
