    A handsome ibis with lovely colors, and a perfect pose. Beautiful colors in the "natural BG" -- that suggests to me that you didn't blur it, but I'm seeing s little bit of soft halo around the bird, expecially under the breast and tail. I don't know what might have caused that -- maybe the NR?

    Beautiful bird, well done on the capture. I see a halo around the entire bird.

    What an interesting looking bird. Your exposure looks great, as do colors and details. Nice pose and perch, although I think adding a bit of space on the bottom would be beneficial as well as taking a bit off of the right to help keep the bird so close to the middle of the frame. Might consider sharpening just the head a tad more.

    sweet, a very lively and colorful specie. Agree with Marina re more room in the bottom

    What a cool bird!! Love the way the head sits on the neck...almost like a turtle-neck sweater. Great blues on the wing too. I agree more at bottom (and then more at left to retain the ratio) would have been great. The halo around the subject is likely from your "shadow extraction" bleeding onto the BG due to no masking to prevent that.
