Scarlet Ibis

Ran to the small local zoo today at lunchtime and was able to get this shot of one of the zoo's stars. The color is stunningly brilliant. Other than a small cropping this shot is SOOC!

WOW! Is that the real colour of the bird? Never seen anything like it! Amazing and beautiful at the same time. Great shot :)

That's an amazing bird...fantastic contrast :-)

@gigiflower @mejulie Thanks Sam and Julie. Yes, that is not a doctored colour at all. I've never seen such color in a bird.

And I thought I had some colorful birds at my house... ! This one is amazing! Excellent job on the sooc stats.

Thanks for the generous compliment on my Drop with Dots pic. I don't know about being a natural... it took some 80 shots before I finally said Quit and pick one. I like your suggestion about the Twister mat. It does look like one!

Good job exposing this as red can be difficult.

@pjtphoto @pcoulson @lyndemc @grahambudd Thank You all for the comments. Once again, I give credit to Mother Nature, and this will not be the last of these beautiful subjects. Good thing I have a membership at the zoo!
