Glossy Ibis

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image of a Glossy Ibis at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida this morning. This bird can be either reddish brown or a rainbow of colors depending how the light strikes it's feathers. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Love the color capture. Nice.

Lovely colors Joe with maybe some more available in the shadowed underside. There is a different blue patch above the back of the bird that could do with coning out IMO.

Hi Colin, thank you for viewing and commenting. Not sure how I missed the blue patch, thank you for catching it. One of the vagaries of post processing late at night I guess. Here is an edit and repost correcting the image.
