Sacred Ibis Landing

Not sure if the Ibis in the fore-ground spoils the landing ??

Hi Craig: I think you would have a more powerful and totally different photo if the left bird were not in the frame b/c all of the viewers' focus would be on the incoming landing and what a spectacular landing it is. That said, however, I don't mind this capture. I like how the bird on the left is backing off a tad to make room for the incoming bird.

Awesome fan-shape landing pose on your incoming individual. I can only imagine full frontal lighting for the wings!! To answer your question, I agree with Marina about the other stork. I think the image could use a bit more room above and right, but not too much.

Lovely image, ibis in the FG is not ideal but this image still works for me, well captured

Great landing pose with beautiful wing position. The other stork is ok but the picture would have been better without, or more space in between.

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated
Will have a look at adding more space on top and right

I have to agree with Brendon on this one.
