    Lovely image Chris, good detail and eye glint. I also like the angle of flight, wing position and BG.

    You sure had the right light to show of this bird's colors and a good wing position as well for seeing the wing detail. I would only be wishing he landed a few feet forward and the looks like if would have given you a more uniform BG w/o the bright yellow reflections. This is definitely a keeper though with a catch light in the eye and good head angle.

    Hey Chris, one of the best Glossy Ibis Ive seen. The landing psture with the swept back wings shows off the underwing detail very well. Sharp where it counts, and I like the pastel blue of the water.
