    Hi Judy,
    Beautiful bird with a nice and smooth two toned background.

    You sure got some nice light there, quite beautiful.
    the colours of the ibis compliment the background well.
    Solid composition.

    Beautiful light, a nice pose, and an interesting, soft background, Judy. You might consider some additional sharpening on the near wing. :)

    Ah, the gorgeous colors on that near wing...what a beautiful bird! I love the pose that you captured with the feet hanging down. The split background is just OOF enough to make it all work for me. Nice!

    I also might sharpen the bird a bit more. Lovely light, pose, and exposure. Wing position is good but could be better.

    Keep them coming!!

    Really nice work Judy...especially for such a difficult bird to expose right. The BG is amazing and the Ibis pops for me...nice!

    The nice light really helped you show off the beautiful colors of the Glossy Ibis. I might have pushed the exposure a little further to the right, but I'm certain you could extract a bit more shadow detail in PP. Wish I could see more of the near wing.
