White Ibis

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this of a White Ibis at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. A bright overcast morning, wonderful soft light. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Really lovely frame. Great pose, eye contact, composition, detail, and exposure. The blue eye really pops! Curious about the pink glow on the bird's underside - is he/she standing on something red, like a handrail? A very strong and beautiful shot regardless.

Very nice, exposure is good and beak all sharp.

Cool Bird. Like the eye.

The blue eye is what makes this one work. Nice soft light as well. Detail and framing are nice as well.
