Ibis in 3D

[Bob Blanchard]

Captured this fellow while hanging out with the IPT group here in SW Florida a couple weeks ago. I kept thinking everyone would post an image of this Ibis that posed so well for the group, but haven't seen any others yet. Artie was standing right beside me while I was working this series with perfect light angle. I love the 3D effect of the bird-shadow-reflection on this. I remember waiting until he moved for just a bit of seperation on those legs. Hope everyone else got some good ones too! Let's see them!

Great light, details and reflection. It needs some CW rotation.

Another winner image Bob. Love it :-)

Ha! Guess who else was standing beside you!! Although with "only" 400mms of reach I did move up closer after you and Artie were done :-) As requested here is one of mine...pretty similar don't you think! Interesting comparision of techs too:

Canon 40D + 100-400L @400mm, aperture priority, eval metering, 1/1600s., f/8, ISO 400, +0.3 EC, handheld

LOL - Good one Dan! I like your head angle better.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Inspirational work.

Lovely setting and those colors are the ones I like to concentrate on when I go to see my dentist! yes those are very relaxing colors.
I like Axel's image also but I find the original post better due to eye contact, eye definition, and head turn.
