    Troy:

    Nice exposure, wing position, open bill and background.
    The chopped off look to the legs below does distract a bit for me. I suspect the sand/mud below wasn't attractive, but I might consider adding back in just a sliver below.

    Cheers

    Thank you, Randy. I have a lot more room below. I will try and see. So you think adding more sand will be less distracting?

    Troy:

    I would try about twice of what you already have below, and see what you think. In fact, if you have the time, post it and let some of the other folks choose which they prefer.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Troy, good sharp detail on the Ibis, and I like the open beak. I agree with Randy, regarding the sand. As you have space, adding on will help to have space for the virtual legs.
