1D MARK IV, 500 F/4, 1.4x TC
1/1000, f/11, ISO 640 @ 700mm

They are called Black Ibises but dont know we gotta see this Brown plums more often on them here on very Sunny days and afternoons all the time. Are they showing the kind of reflector change for heat ? Pretty common in my area and resident but still yet to discover this question i have.

Mital:

Nice detail in the blacks/browns. Love the eye and crest. The latter almost looks like a little rubber crush that was sewn on !

Perhaps a sliver more room below for the virtual feet.

Cheers

Hi Mittal, an Ibis we dont have here in SA. Well exposed on the Ibis, and an interesting crest on him. I like the overall detail, especially on the legs. You have already stated this is FF, so you know next time to ask him to pose further away.

yes stu. and i am sure as they are pretty common and so bold i might have to move back myself instead asking as they always do more favor to photographers popping in camera :)

...or remove the TC if you have time. Nice details and I like the surrounding vegetation. A bit of fill would have opened up the lower part of the body's plumage nicely...

An ibis I've never seen before..thanks for sharing!

Wow... that it an unusual ibis! I alway enjoy seeing new species. I little bit of added canvas and cloned vegetation on the bottom will greatly improve the image. Thanks for sharing!
