    Default White Ibis

    I photographed this White Ibis during a great morning on James Shadle's boat. The green BGs are to die for at Alafia Banks! Until I processed this image I had no idea that this species had iridescent wing tips.

    One sweet flight shot. Tack sharp and spot on exposure. BG is outstanding. Gotta love the wing tips.

    Excellent sharpness and shooting angle! I feel the BG is a bit dark. Maybe something like this repost.

    A classic flight shot. Loved the dark green BG, but Ofer's repost looks good too. Great flight position, exposure. Interesting iridescence - I never saw that either.

    Good details in the whites Doug, and I like the flying posture with the full down stroke. Both BG's work for me, and interesting iridescence on the wing tips. Well captured.

    Big bird flight shots don't get any better then this one! I like Ofer's repost with the brighter BG.

    This image would look great printed big and hung on the living room wall...

    Beautifully captured, Doug! I really like that rich green background and nice discovery of the iridescent wing tips.

    WOW! The irridescent feather tips are something new to me as well. I love the BG and like the original and the repost.
    Beautifyl exposure control and great details in the whites. You have made an ordinary bird look extraordinary. Love it!
