A great portrait, Gerhardt, in a superb environment. Technically perfect at all levels. The low POV adds lot's of personality to this shot... and what a beautiful bird. Definitely S.A. is a paradise for you, guys

These Ibises seem very popular on nature sites,and its easy to see why.The colour and shape are so appealing.
A very nice portrait. I like the tree behind...is it a flamboyant? It looks like ones we had on Niue.

I couldnt agree more with you: this is one of the prettiest birds in the world (along with the crowned crane and the good ol` peacock). The bird has fandastic features but the blur on FG/BG is bizzare (not sure why yet...)
Still this is an outstanding portrait, I gotta hand it out to ya !

I think it is not one of the most beautiful for me, but I admit the deep scarlet is impressing. The quality of the shot is very very good. I like to see the horizontal composition with all the space at the right, I wouldnt have done that way and I like it.

Impresionante mi amigo.. realmente.
Una ave espectacular con un colorido maravilloso, difícil de retratar, pero que en este caso se reproduce con total fidelidad.
Los detalles en su plumaje, ojo y pico son excelentes.
Felicitaciones

Impressive my friend... really.
A spectacular bird with wonderful colorful, difficult to portray, but that in this case reproduces with total fidelity.
The details in their plumage, eye and beak are excellent.
Congratulations

This is absalutely stunning and I think probably one of your best shots. All the technical aspects are simply superb. This is as close to perfection as it gets.

Incredibly well done.

I can only imagine from your photo what it must be like to come across such a bright bird in the wild. What a thrill that must be! I love the composition of this photo, the branches are arranged in such a nice pattern. His red color jumps out at you! So sharp and clear.
Excellent.
