Night Flight of the Ibis

[Mark Fuge]

This image, of three white and one glossy Ibis, was taken at Merritt Island NWR a few years ago.

Modification included normal image processing in PS4 and Fractalius.

Enjoy!

This is the original image, with minimal image processing, which was previously shown in the past.

I am working on a new site portfolio, hence the watermark. I posted the above before adding the watermark. Been busy with the new images and regrettably not here as much as in the past. I hope to be up with the images by the end of the week, if the rains don't come from the inbound storms.

Very nice composition, Mark. I like the edge-lit effect here and works well with the dark blue bg. Nicely processed!

Mark, Nice effect. I like the wing positions of the three White Ibis. When I first looked at it I thought that it would be nice if the glossy wasn't touching and if it had a better wing position but the more I look at it the more this comp grows on me, it has a nice balance.

Mark, I like the composition on the birds and fractalius adds a lot to the image, especially the rich blues in the background.

Hi Mark, I like the fract effect on this one, particularly the white edge around the glossy ibis. Nice one!

Hi Mark, nice flight grouping and effects. Very dramatic look with the dark blue bg and the white/black contrast of the birds. Good one!

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
