[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Straw-necked ibises are large birds, around 60-75 centimetres (24-30 inches). They have dark wings that show a glossy, iridescent, multicoloured sheen in sunlight, and have a dark back and collar. Most of the neck is white, as are the underparts and undertail. They have a long, black, downcurved bill, and their legs are usually red near the top and dark grey toward the feet. Straw-like feathers on the neck of adults give the bird its common name.

Sexes are similar, although males have longer bills and females have a dark band across their upper breast. Juveniles have duller colours, shorter bills with less curvature, and lack the straw-like plumes on the neck

Huuuh - another new one for me! It truly looks way bigger than the Ibis' we have around here. Very beautiful capture - with wonderful detail - love that you bribed the bird into this open wing pose! ;) Kudos! Cheers, Klaus

Bonjour Annick,
Une image exceptionnelle tant par sa composition que ses qualités techniques. S U P E R B E !
400 ISO et pas un poil de grain, un arrière plan à rendre jaloux, une netteté irréprochable et une exposition qui ne l'est pas moins... Tu me confortes dans mon achat de cet appareil. Merci et encore bravo.
Gérard

Hi Annick,
Good composition, colors, sharpness and pose of the bird. Very well done.
It's a strange bird...

bonjour Annick

les couleurs de cette oiseau, les détails des plumes
l'action que fait l'oseau sont superbe

mais une toute petite chose, pourquoi tout l'oiseau
ne fait pas partie de l'image ?
car, tu sais, selon moi, si tout le corps de l'oiseau
serait partit de l'image, selon moi, pour moi
l'image aurait était supérieure avec ce joli mouvement des ailes
