Returning To Roost

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken at sunset as the ibis were returning to roost for the evening. The skies were so beautiful that night.

Love the pastel colors in the background and banking Ibis looks great in this flight shot. Would like to have seen the far wing a bit sharper.

Light and sharpness look good, the BG makes this one for me. I only wish head and far wing would not merge.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Yes, a better head angle would be nice , but they never listen;). Still one fine image. The pastel colors in the sky set it off very well.

Hi Judy,

I particularly like the bg here. Nicely blurred with late afternoon (?) color. The HA and merger issues don't really bother me that much but I do see the point.

Hi Judy

Beautiful sky as the background. Wingtip blur is fine and it gives sensation of movement. Like the diagonal position of the bird in the frame suggesting action. I feel there is some dead space to the left part of the image.
