Hi Ganesh,

I'm not sure if I have seen a Black Ibis before. What an amazing pose and he seems to have only one foot on the branch. Beautiful colors and excellent details of the face, wings and eye. What a handsome bird he is.

Hello Narayanan,
the details, specially the eye are sharp and the colours are nice but it's a bit dark, it's nor easy to shot against the sky, try to open up the aperture 1-1.5 step.
Well done.

Hello Narayanan,
Great capture of this beautifull Black Ibis ready to fly.
TFS and Regards,

A superb composition of this fine Ibis specimen, if not a little funny Ganesh, a little bit underexposed maybe, but that is quite natural with dark feathered birds, and here the stance is more important than plumage details!
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hello Ganesh,
Great capture of this Black Ibis in a fine pose looking a bit helpless!! Great focus on the eye and fine sharp details in good light. A well timed capture! I don't expect this is a common bird in India?
