White Ibis

A simple shot of an Ibis walking along East Beach at Ft Desoto. I was shooting Ospreys in flight hence the settings and in a break this handsome chap walked by

Lovely light you got here Mike, and you used it well. Nice whites and great detail on the bird. The reds look real good against that BG. Nice pose and and great POV.

This is excellent Mike. Looks like you had to drop to the ground in a hurry to get it as the POV looks quite low (and helps make the shot). Sharpness, tones, colour and background all great.

Hello,

a really good capture of this interessting bird. It looks like it was waiting and posing a little bit for you.

I love these guys. We do not see many images despite how common they are down there - perhaps it is because they are so common! Unfortunate that the dark spot was between the legs at the time the image was created. The left half of the BG looks better, but I still wish you had pointed your lens a bit more towards the right. Good techs with the whites looking really nice.
