    I took a little break from shooting today and am looking back through the huge collection of shots from the past few weeks in SW Florida. This White Ibis fly-by was a grab shot as I was photographing a grounded Great Blue Heron. Most settings were close and a quick two clicks to reduce exposure seemed to save the whites. It's amazing to see the difference in face colour from mid-Feb., when they were much paler, to early March. These birds are very speedy! All C&C welcome and appreciated.

    I like the very slight banking pose with both wings down. Nicely done. Exposure looks very good and nice and sharp.

    Hi Dan, excellent exposure and whites on this fellow, and overall tack sharp. The reds look good too. You have captured a good flying posure with the full down stroke of the wings, and good to see the reflection of the water on the far underwing. Comp wise, I would take about a third off the top.
