Good Balance is Really Important!

Gray skies and a bad cold = no motivation to photograph, but opportunity to edit. This was one of my Florida shots from last month that had needed some cleaning up. Ibises are such intriguing looking birds who clearly love hanging out high above.

This is just great viewed in the Black! They need balance - and judgement that the twig will hold their weight!

[Lin]

Awesome capture (and hope you feel better soon)

[Rob Z]

And they are so intriguing with their orange beaks - their cousins here are black and white. Hope the weather and your health both improve. :)

Quite impressive!

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent as always

[Rick]

Great capture. Yeah, they run around the neighborhood pecking the grass. Not sure what they get, but guess they do find something.

[Boxplayer]

Beautiful.

[Diana]

Such a fabulous composition and capture.

[eDorre]

Terrific shot. Love the composition

[Babs]

Great shot but ibis really don't look as though they are comfortable in trees do they.

[Delwyn Barnett]

They certainly are intriguing! Nice.

[Issi Bannerman]

This is a great shot, Taffy! Hope you feel better soon.

[Marloes]

Yes! And a well balanced image too :)

[Joan Robillard]

They just don't look like they belong in a tree

Beautifully composed shot of the Ibis doing a rather precarious pose on what seems to be a dead branch !! fav

Oh my, he’s so great really. There’s nothing worse than a cold, takes away all of our energy.

Wonderful. Love the minimalist feel.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Awesome shot

[Islandgirl]

Great composition!

[Jane Pittenger]

Good job re the clean up. Pity the peak gets cut through by the branch. Is the focus a tiny bit soft on the eye or is that cause it’s so far away do you think? Wonderful composition other than the beak (I know I’m being picky!)

[Tunia McClure]

orange against the blue sky -- nice
