Tom, I like the look back pose, sharp, and the light is nice and soft. Well exposed, and I would maybe crop off at least half from the bottom, as the reflection is not clear enough to work well.
Nice timing on the preening.
Stuart, here is a repost with a tighter crop and some sharpening.
Tom, your repost works well, and the additional sharpening has also put this up a notch. Well done.
Wow, I love the repost on this! This is a great image, colors are working so well together... Ibis make terriffic subjects!
Thank you Stuart for the suggestion, I think it helped.
Thank you Ken and Steve.
repost rocks it! I like the colours here and the interesting pose...
Hi Tom,
I to like the repost, interesting behaviour captured and good exposure and detail in the whites.
Nice work! I also like the second one more but still it is a nice pice.
Willem,
Very nice image Tom nice control of the whites and an interesting pose.

Very nice image Tom.
I had a great time with you and Don in the field. Good company always welcome.
Thanks once again for the opportunity.

EXP is right-on. I prefer the original to the cropped repost. My biggest problem is with the head angle; the same pose with the head parallel to the imaging sensor would have been ideal.

Great sharp detail and soft light. Like the pose and colours. Well done
Thank you all, especially Sid and Don for the help. I am not sure which crop version I prefer, as for the HA, Artie, I will work on that.
