Beautiful light on this Ibis. Love the pose and the perfect background. Really a nice portrait with excellent details. I saw you sold your 1DX. What did you replace it with?

That wonderful light already mentioned it really is so soft and warm bringing out all that lovely feather detail on the bird.
