Banking Ibis

[Stu Bowie]

African Sacred Ibis. I like the way I have captured this guy in full banking mode. Their white feather detail is not as glossy as an egret, so one can safely push the plus exp comp up, and not blow the whites.

Killer pose,details and fantastic wing position!!!

I love the spread wings, long neck, and head angle. I also like the inclusion of habitat and the dangling foot. The catchlight seems a little big, giving the bird a white eye.

Hi Stuart,
I like the capture angle and the banking turn...The details and colors on the bird are superb...good show...:cool:

Love the banking pose and the great head angle. Beautiful sharp detail and I like the inclusion of the green tree branch which balances the image. Well done!

[Samir Begovic]

Great image. I would work on sky color. Maybe take a little red from it.

Great banking capture and dorsal view. The bird is pretty filthy. Great head angle and position. Did you use flash?

Your kind comments are very much appreciated.
