Hi All,

Here’s another from the rookery. Little bit of a crop for comp., some light sharpening, reduced noise on the BG, added a slight vignette, and ran a curves adjustment. All C&C welcome.

Excellent, Lyle. Perfect light for this bird. I really like the wing position. I do wish it had chosen to look a touch more in your direction, but that usually doesn’t work out.

Hi Lyle
The wind detail and coloring are great. I have photograph Ibis a number of time and never had the color spread you have here.

Hi Lyle,

Very nice and the colors of the feathers show up perfectly against the green BG. I like this as presented. Well done…Jim
