Along with the Harpy Eagle and Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, the Scarlet Ibis was near the top. It’s unbelievable that a bird can be this vibrant. No need to boost colors in post with these guys, and indeed sometimes I needed to lessen the colors. I framed this one with a background Snowy Egret to balance the frame. ### Technical Details Canon R5 Canon 600mm + 1.4x ISO 250 1/800th f/5.6 ISO 250 * * * ### Critique Template Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas. - Vision and Purpose: - Conceptual: - Emotional Impact and Mood: - Composition: - Balance and Visual Weight: - Depth and Dimension: - Color: - Lighting: - Processing: - Technical: ---

Fantastic color, for sure. Good detail and nice low angle shot. Not sure about the egret; the brightness tends to pull the eye a bit. ---

Wow! That’s is some red in the Ibis, Max. I like the way the egret sets it off. To my eye, even though the birds seem to be the same distance from the edges of the frame, it feels as if just a bit more room on the left would be nice-probably due to the visual weight of that intense color. ---

Max, that is some bright colored bird. I’m so glad you were able to see and capture this lovely photo of him. I like the way you balanced the image with the egret. ---

Sandy, do they actually get to the Pantanal? I’ve never seen one during any my trips there (several other ibis species, however), and always assumed they’re a Caribbean-area bird. ---

Great shot. I like how you captured the reflections and left them in the shot. The lbis would be a great shot in its self. Thanks. ---

> The lbis would be a great shot in its self. Thanks John. I did manage to get one or two of a solo ibis without any distractions (there were a _ton_ of egrets), but thought this one would be more interesting to share here. 🙂
