Black Ibis

[Ken Watkins]

We found this stunning bird almost in the open, whilst trying to find a Sloth Bear in Bandhavgargh. Cropped tight to elinate as much as possible of surrounding "jungle", 26th April 2011

Well exposed Ken, and showing good detail. I would maybe selectively sharpen at the base of the neck onto the wing. A slight glance towards you would have been good. As you stated you cropped tight, I would 'uncrop' a touch behind the tail.

You got the exposure spot on Ken with good detail. I like the crop

great habitat shot Ken, nice details agree with Stu regarding a slight heads turn
