| Glossy Ibis Rainbow |
The Glossy Ibis usually looks dark and colorless (but her frame is elegant and beautiful nonetheless). When the lighting is right, her full magnificence comes into view - light breaks off her feathers in multiple colors of the rainbow, making for a splendid view. Here we have a view of a Glossy Ibis about to land with some darker background, enabling us to see the full beauty of her wings.
What do I like about this photo? The lighting is great, enabling us to view the colors as is rarely possible. The pose of the bird is also interesting.
What would I have liked to improve? Sharpness could be improved. This is partially being caused by lack of light, which forced me to use higher sensitivity (ISO) than I would have liked, and also because of the distance, which caused me to crop the photo a bit more than is optimal. Also, if the background were a bit more uniform the bird would stand out even more.
