Love the pose Dave. I think more of a silhouette would be much nicer. But I still like it as presented. :)

Hi Dave, comp works well, and I like the landing posture. I really like the colours in the BG, and would maybe blend in the OOF vegatation below the Ibis into the sky BG.

Super shot Dave. Like that there is just enough detail in the Ibis. Good comp and colors.

[Morkel Erasmus]

great mood and use of available light Dave. I would darken the ibis some more.

[Paul Randall]

Very moody. I like that the Ibis is not a total silhouette and the colour in the sky is great. Comp. is spot on too, well done.

Awesome colors Dave. I like the composition. I might evict the sticks in front of the bird. Very different image and I like the feel.

Lovely image Dave! Like the mood. Great colours in the BG & the bird has just enough detail to make it work for me. Well done for trying something different when most of us won't even take out the camera.
