Hi Jay: Nice to get some iridescence from this Ibis. Feels just a little tight in the frame. Any more room?

Reeds in foreground. Cropped about 50%.

It's tough to gete the irridescense of these guys - this is nice!
The blues seem a bit bright and compete for the eye - perhaps consider toning them down a bit?
a little tight in the frame, too - IMO

Nice shot. I like the irridescence in the feathers. I looked this up in my field guide and it is unclear to me how they got the white faced tag.

Good looking bird in the light. I agree w/Sandy on the blues, although a real good capture nonetheless.
