    Impressive wing spread here. I really like the under and top side wing details. The whites are nicely exposed with varied details in light and darker area of the whites. Good eye contact and nice blurred background. Having never seen the species before it is a nice treat. Thanks for sharing.

    Great light, exposure, pose and detail Vivaldo - these guys can be very hard to expose properly!!

    Great exposure, killer BG.
    Head appears to be on the same depth as the left wing or close by, a bit soft.
    Did you apply selective sharpening on the head?

    Love the wing position, exposure, and BG. The single water droplet adds to the image. The head does seem a little soft. And I might crop a little off the bottom.

    It is so interesting to see the different types of Ibis from around the globe.

    Great capture, I really like his black wing tips.

    BG really compliments the bird well, great job!

    excellent wing position and BG, I would sharpen the head a bit more.

    Thanks for comments it's appreciated I did selective sharpen the head but agree it needs more sharpening. I will repost later as my internet at home was not working.

    I like the simular colour in some of the top feathers of the wing and the background and those black tips round it off - all round a nice image.

    Great BG (Looks familiar)... Like the pose and details in the black head.

    The Ibis pops so well from the BG, and I do like the whites. Good flying posture too.
