African Sacred Ibis

[Stu Bowie]

Taken at the University grounds in Pretoria. I always find these these guys to show up nicely, if taken in the right light.

Great light and details, it would be even better if the far wing were lower.

[Doug Brown]

Like the near wing detail and the slightly open bill. Agree with Axel about the far wing. The catchlight in the eye looks a little too big. Thanks for sharing!

[Tony Whitehead]

Well caught, Stuart. Nice feather detail and good DOF to cover the bird. I like the sky detail in the BG.

Axel, Doug, Tony, thanks a lot for your positive crits. Much appreciated.
