The splashing feet make a really nice touch. I would clone out the one brown plant LL, but that's personal taste. Very nicely captured.

This is really sweet, Peter. I love the light on the ibis and the water streak. Is that the foreleg right at the surface of the water? It's hard to be sure since I wasn't there, but maybe just a touch more brightness?

Fine catch of this one, Peter. Occasionally I see one foraging with White Ibis although not often alone. Would be easy to clone the stalk but it's part of the environment.

This looks a lot better as a larger image. I do wish it was a tiny bit brighter but as I stated, the larger image does look considerably better. You got wonderful detail and color on the Ibis. And I don't think that's very easy to do based on my own personal experience in this kind of light.

The smaller image doesn't do the full-sized photo justice. Very nice. If it were mine, I might bring the mid-tones up a little brighter.

HI
Thanks for the comments. This post is with the mid-tones up a little.
