Ibis Landing

[Bill Dix]

I know this could have been better had the rising sun not been quite so far to my left. But I like the humorous, almost Dr. Seuss-like, appearance of these guys. Common enough for you Floridians, but a treat for us northerners. From Ding Darling in November. C&C always appreciated.

Nice dynamic shot Bill. Everything about it is fine, except that the whites under the bird's right wing look slightly hot on my monitor.

Bill - I think you're right about the Dr. Seuss like quality. It all works for me - landing pose, wing spread, position in frame, sharpness and bg. What's in the lrc?

TFS,
Rachel

[Bill Dix]

Thanks all. Rachel, That's a feather floating on the water. I decided to leave it in; it gives the Ibis something to aim at.

Stunning! Love the light and action. Are those water droplets by the feet? Interesting!

It's a great pose bill and I like the water droplets coming of the feet as well as the backlit Wings
