Florida last year

I was going through my files and decided to keep this one. I liked the view of the underside. The HA could be better,but I liked the pose anyway. I cloned a small branch from BG.

Very cool image, although the HA is away from the camera,
the pose and the leg take over here so I don't mind the HA at all.
Nicely done.

nice looking bird with a beautiful pose,soft light,head details,bg...wish for a more head turn!

[Marina Scarr]

Looks as though this young one is pushing you away/aside. The pose isn't ideal but fun and different. love the BG and the bird's head is tack sharp.

Denise:

Looks like a high wire balancing act to me, with foot up, wings slightly lifted.

Techs as mentioned, nicely exposed and sharp.

The shooting angle is pretty steep, but it works with the overall feel here.

Denise, a different angle, but I think it works so well. I like it. Pin sharp detail, and just love the softer light in this. That expression says it all. What a cool image.

[arash_hazeghi]

Beautiful, I am ok with shooting angle since the HA and pose are really good. TFS

[Suzanne Huot]

Works beautifully ,not just another front on Ibis image ,but an image portraying the birds intent

[Daniel Cadieux]

Different pose that's for sure! I guess a better HA wouldn't have hurt. Head and eye are tack sharp. I can't tell where the cloned out branch was, so good job! You could try warming up the image, and I find there is a bit of a magenta cast.

[James Salywoda]

I love the raised foot and the look back pose the details are excellent and the bg is very nice. Well Done Denise!

[Bonnie Block]

Uncoventional and fun image--Denise! Sharp in all the right places. Great bg, too!

Thankyou everyone, I appreciate the feedback.
Daniel, Here is a repost w/ the color adjustments. Thanks:)

[Suzanne Huot]

That really worked well,amazing what a little tweak will do

[Clement Francis]

Wonderful pose and the eye is very charming

[Dave Barnes]

Interesting pose, I can see why you would want to keep it. something different.
Although a bit of a rear view the eye and bill attracts your attention.
Not sure that this will be everyones cup of tea.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Great work Denise. Your bird photos these past few months are incredibly inspiring! :) HA mentioned, but it still very much has its own appeal the way presented. :)

[Kiran Poonacha]

Lovely one Denise, the repost works well, nice details, setting and BG.. congrats..

[Mike Veltri]

Nice pose and exposure on the whites.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good job on the repost Denise!!
