Love the detail in this Luke. I also like the decision for a close up portrait on this shot. I feel like the green vegetation really tells a story and makes this really work. Nice job.
BTW...I really have to get myself to Florida one day...I can't seem to get within 50 yards of any Ibis in this state.

Excellent detail. I'd try toning down the shoulder a bit to keep the viewer's focus on the eye.

Excellent exposure and detail. The dark green background works well here. The eye is centered. An alternate composition might have been to place the eye in the upper right of the image as the OOF shoulder adds little. Dave
