Juvenile Ibis with Another Catch - S.W Florida

In my previous juvenile Ibis post, the Ibis was cropped. This one is with a full body, better head angle and eye contact. A little tight for my taste but they come so close!!

Which one do you think works best?

Hope you like it.

Canon 40D, 500mm L @ f/5.6, 1/1250 sec, ISO 400, Manual Exposure, Tripod, Almost Full Frame.

Thanks!

It looks to me like the wing feather area is soft. Might be a little better sharpened. Also, I have a problem with the foot. It looks contorted and pulls away from the eye area. Personally I would take a little off the top as well.

Maxis, both images are great but I will stay with your first post. I don't know why the other is more appealing to me.

Without even looking at your previous post, I remember saying that I wished for the whole bird to be in the frame. I prefer this one for the very fact that you have included all of him in this shot. Once again, stunning light, and well captured Maxis.

Great image! Love the warm light and the low angle.

Great light action and detail. Would like a bit more space on the left but this is still GREAT well done
