We get that Ibis in So Cal and it is one of my favorite waders to shoot, Allen. A very photogenic bird with the long bill and huge wingspan. This bird is always an exciting shoot. I like the flight images, especially the first one. I like the iridescence in the flight feathers and capturing the layers of primaries and secondaries. The background is very complimentary also. Looks like it is using those big wings like a sail or cape to catch the wind. Or is it a jump takeoff, getting ready to flap away. I would straighten the horizon line in # 2. #3The silver bill preening those rich colored feathers is very nice, and I like the darker exposure in that one, the marsh looks good and the right color green for me. But maybe the Ibis is too close to the edge though of frame in that one. I like the metal iridescence in the feathers of the last profile shot. But my preference would be a darker exposure, the marsh looks a little too yellow.
