Late arrival
Capture late one evening in overcast conditions.
Although this image could have been captured and or processed as a silhouette, I preferred to capture some of the detail on the bird as I feel it adds to the atmosphere.
I would like to ask for comments on the above.
Camera Model Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Lens EF500mm f/4L IS USM

The image casts an intriguing mood, Dave.
While the artistic debate on silhouette vs. partial silhouette would be interesting, I think you made the correct call to include bird details.
Comp is good for an overall pleasing image.
Looks like "Sacred Ibis Coming in to Roost" that you posted on Oct. 11th.
I think I like that version better.

Daniel you are so right and I am so embarrassed.:o
I am posting on 2 sites and I got confused, must be old age.:(
If I knew how I would delete it?:)
Would a moderator please help to have this post deleted?

That's OK.
I was just showing I was paying attention. Did not want to embarrase you.
I apologize.

Lovely shot Dave. Bill has voiced this very well. I like the balance and detail you have retained and feel it creates a wonderful feel and mood. Well done.
Some people have already taken the time to offer comments and critiques, therefore I think we should let the thread stand. I like the overall mood, and I like the incoming landing pose. Good placement of the subject within the frame. I would reduce the bluish cast on the plumage, and I find that the branches get distractingly lost within the OOF trees...
I like the bird and pose, details on it are OK IMO.
I would blur the branches completely and get rid of the
ones sticking out.
Dave, you are losing it mate. Before reading Daniel's comment, my brain told me this looked familiar.
Thanks for looking and for comments.
Stu not loosing it, I never had it, must be mad cow.:eek:
Ah, senility enjoys company. I would go for the total SILH look. I think that I said the same thing the first time around!
