A very smart Ibis Phil. I would consider removing the OOF foliage to the left and imediately below the bird though :wink:

Where abouts were you?

Hi Bob I do have them with out the foliage but like this one more because it has the foliage, they were taken in the camargue.

Hi Phil, cracking image with tons of detail. Never seen one in the flesh (feathers?) but that beak puts our curlew's into a cocked hat! Undecided about the foilage.......take out leaves a space.......more foilage below the bird might work too I guess. Very minor nit though....the bird grabs the attention and holds it!

Great image. I know from experience how difficult that dark head can be with the white feathers, especially in sunlight. You have handled the contrast superbly.

Spot on as it is Phil. Feather detail is excellent and you have timed the shot to perfection.
