While some of you were at Bosque I took my family on a Disney vacation. I came across several different birds in the various theme parks. My favorite was this Ibis (?) who posed for a few seconds before the kids dragged me off to another ride. I'm still working on technique for birding so any comments are welcome.

Very nice portrait. I like the tight framing.

Excellent attempt but I think the photo would be stronger if cropped from the bottom just above the legs. Chopping of limbs rarely works in portrait photography.

Nicely done ... I'd bring it up on the botton and maybe give a little more room to the sides.

You must be a addict if your taking bird photos while your kids are dragging you around Disney World :) I agree with The crop E.J. mentioned. Please feel free to use the 650 pixels for the longest side so a larger photo can be viewed. That's optional by the way. I like the pose.

This is a nice photo that would be improved with a crop off the bottom to just above the legs. :)

I agree with cropping a little from the bottom. Otherwise I like the tight framing. Cool shot!

I really like the bird's pose. Am in agreement with crop suggestion off the bottom, not only to not "chop off" the legs but also to remove the other white birds out of the frame.

Nice way to fit bird photography into your vacation!
