HI Adams
I wish we could see the bill a bit more separated from the chest area, though if you cleaned the mud from the tip it would help. But the again, leaving it is good for authenticity. It appears a fraction sharper on the wing edges than the head, but only just and a slight CCW rotation may be good. What do you think of the CCW?

I love the soft light and the good-looking wingspread.

Crazy bird and a fine capture. White Ibis hybrid with Scarlet?

[Phil Ertel]

I love the landing pose. Nice soft light with good exposure. The details look sharp to me. Congratulatins on a fine image.

Hi Nate,
Yes this is a hybrid white x scarlet Ibis. This is not a captive bird

Great find, pose, exposure control and BG. I would sharpen the bird a bit more.

[Lance Peters]

as mentioned great exposure - love the soft pink hues with the contrasting black wing tips - a tad more sharpening for my tastes.
