BIF is always been fascination for me and here is one trial though i wish i could have been few meters right to me but this ibis decided to land more right on me though i moved a bit.

C&C welcome

Landing pose, sharpness and dangling feet look good. Too bad the bird is angled away from you. Some of these birds simply don't know what they should do if photographers are around. :)

Agreed with you and Axel here on angled away head but lovely dangling feets and techs looks good

loved the wing position and the dangling feet bhai...

Fantastic details in the wings. Sharpness and landing pose are great. Love the dangling feet too. Agree w/ your position. Very nicely done.

[Wil Hershberger]

I agree with the above and too wish for the head turned more toward the camera. The sharpness is very nice.

Nice Mital, love the details and wing position, you can't really help with where the bird decides to go, just keep trying and hope for the best.
