White Ibis portrait

My mission here was not to submit the "standard" ibis photo of which I have a considerable number in my collection, but to capture an up close portrait with good detail down to the dirt on the beak. I also love the blue eyes of the species and I think that the dark background enhances them even more. This was shot a couple of days ago and unlike my habit of jamming close up shots into the frame, I actually left this shot some breathing room on the top and right. Slowly learning.

Shot at 400mm, f9, 1/640, ISO 100
