Glossy Ibis.

Made this image in Porbandar, Gujarat last year December. Witnessed this bird for the first time and it was very shy. I managed to take cover behind bushes while approaching it. The golden light does a good job of highlighting the shades on its wings.

Lovely light. Nice pose and eye contact. Wish the bird below it (is it a young one?) also was more visible (nothing you could do about it, as you were hiding behind the bush). Slight off-centered composition with less space on the left would be good. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Nice eye contact. Agree with mrudul on compo

Thanks kaleeswara. Will keep in mind about bird's position.

I agree that the subject is centred and looks static. How big was this place and how many of these were there? Thanks for sharing.

Sabyasachi ji, the place was as big as 2 football fields joined together. I remember seeing 3 to 5 of these.
