Exposure looks great with one exception...that being the bill is a bit hot. Perfect situation for a layer mask, selective color and a little linear burn.
Sharpness looks right on...maybey just a slight touch more on the eye.
Outstanding soft light, sharpness, and just about everything. Only thing I wish for is a tiny bit more of a profile HA, and to maybe tone down the feet a tad.
That steel blue eye is killer! Nice catchlight as well. I don't really mind the beak and feet the way they are because they feel "natural" to me but I can also see the other's points.
Overall, I think this is a very pleasing image. I really feel like I'm looking up and seeing him in the tree - I think that eye is what's drawing me in.
very pleasing pose for an ibis....they are usually non-stop poking in the muck.
To me, the bill looks perfectly toned and natural......nothing showing hot there IMO(or via a histo).
It appears that you are very particular about your pp......please note the soft/cloned right edge of the rearward
facing branch.
a pleasure to view your work
