American White Ibis

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida. I believe this is a young bird, hints of it's juvenile plumage can still be seen. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Classic portrait. I like the crop and the framing. Detail on the whites looks very nice.

[David Roach]

Yep, another JP classic. Really pops against that blue. TFS

The blue eye works well with the blue BG,

Beautifull detail in the feathers and around the eye. I like the curve of the neck and the curve of the bill. Plus the blue eye on the blue BG, as Gail mentioned.
