Beautiful light, Troy. Nice action with the bird munching on his breakfast. The curved dark band in the BG above his neck is a bit overpowering to me, but otherwise I like the BG.

Thank you. I will fix that...it is funny how something always get in the way.
That is why I like getting feedback, that is something I prob would never noticed.

Yeah, the story of my life! No matter how I pick over something, someone always finds something I missed :)

I really like your ibis!

Troy, that's a great shot,
Just curious if you can pull another out of the original as well,
I'm looking hard to see what it is eating, any way you could crop a little tighter for a second pic?
But I'm a nut for natural history shots so maybe I'm alone on this one.

Stan, it was a tiny crab.

Love this image! Colors, situation, composition, subject, all dynamite!

The dark BG area, as mentioned, is a slight distraction for me, also.

I would have cropped some off the top; for me, too much space above the bird.
