How do I correct the typo on the image title?


Ok I got it sorted.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Perfect exposure, excellent BG and great details under the wings. Simply great. Nothing to add. :)

[Mital Patel]

beautiful exposure.. and perfect sharp freeze flight.

[Lorant Voros]

Nice light, detail, exp, pose and comp. Congrats.

[Morkel Erasmus]

those whites look heavenly Dave. difficult customer to expose perfectly all round and you nailed it - great wing position and BG too!

[Stu Bowie]

One of the cleaner Ibis's Ive seen, but there again, he is a juv. Pin sharp detail, with excellent exposure on the whites. Killer BG. Great capture Dave.

[Stephen Earle]

Good wing position, ha and bg. I like the quality of light also.

[Mike Lentz]

The light, BG, sharpness and wing position are all wonderful!

[Doug Brown]

Great job with the exposure. The catchlight really adds life to the bird. Very nice!

[Arthur Morris]

Ditto all of the above. No flash on this one??? I love the black-edged feathers on this species.

[Nagesh Mula]

Very Sharp and beautiful capture of this bird.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Ugly but beauty.

Don't get me wrong, is just that the face looks dirty. I know, this is a juvie. Love the wings up and the clean BG. jc

[Dave Barnes]

Thanks to all for looking and for comments.
Arthur I confirm no flash on this one.
Juan Carlos I agree they are not the prettiest birds.

[Krijn Trimbos]

Wing position is excellent in this one as well as the light, exposure, BG and sharpness. The only thing that could be improved is a better specimen (the neck doesn't look ideal), which you can't really do anything about. So alltogether excellent shot!

[Ramon M. Casares]

JUst great IMO, lovely exposure, light, pose, BG, comp and detail. I would only suggest to sharpen a bit more the belly edge as it seems a tad soft in my monitor. Big congratulations!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, details, wing position and BG. Another vote for removing the sheen on the tip of the bill that Peter mentioned.

Thanks Guys appreciated.
