Glossy Ibis

[denise ippolito]

This is a huge crop but I really liked the way the two bottom birds looked so I added the top bird by cloning the bottom bird. In-camera blur @ 1/8 sec.

One of your best blurs to date. Love the line created by the 3 birds. Good idea to add the third one. Two would have been too static.

Hi Denise, this doesnt look like a large crop at all. I really like the shapes from the blur, and black on white puts this over the top. Your creative mind is endless.

[Nancy Bell]

Love the simplicity and minimalist look. Looks very oriental.

[Maureen Allen]

I agree with Nancy, this does look oriental. Lovely, simple composition. I like it a lot, Denise.

[Michael Zajac]

Very Artistic Denise, the black and white looks good.

[Indranil Sircar]

Wonderful artistic composition, Denise. I love the minimalist approach and the symmetry here... the blurs reminds me a deft brush stroke on a white canvas. Excellent work!

[Anita Bower]

I, too, like the blur of these birds. The diagonal line of 3 birds works really well. Simple and effective. Sometimes a large crop is just the right thing to do.

[Clemens Vanderwerf]

Remember this one Denise. Came out really nice. I would remove the grey shadows at the bottom and make it pure b&w.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Denise, lovely amount of blur and like the addition of the third ibis.

[Christopher Miller]

One of the best blurs I've ever seen, Denise! I love the simple, graceful look of the birds, and I agree with Nancy: very oriental looking. Well done!

Thanks folks, Clemens, I already fixed that -I had noticed it right after posting.

[Mitch Carucci]
