Great background, I like the perch and the crop.

Exposure looks great with one exception...that being the bill is a bit hot. Perfect situation for a layer mask, selective color and a little linear burn.

Sharpness looks right on...maybey just a slight touch more on the eye.

Outstanding soft light, sharpness, and just about everything. Only thing I wish for is a tiny bit more of a profile HA, and to maybe tone down the feet a tad.

Well done!

That steel blue eye is killer! Nice catchlight as well. I don't really mind the beak and feet the way they are because they feel "natural" to me but I can also see the other's points.

Overall, I think this is a very pleasing image. I really feel like I'm looking up and seeing him in the tree - I think that eye is what's drawing me in.

very pleasing pose for an ibis....they are usually non-stop poking in the muck.
To me, the bill looks perfectly toned and natural......nothing showing hot there IMO(or via a histo).

It appears that you are very particular about your pp......please note the soft/cloned right edge of the rearward
facing branch.

a pleasure to view your work

Brilliant IQ Michael, and the light in this is simply outstanding. Pin sharp, and with perfect DOF too. Congrats on a fine image.
