Nice to see these glossy ibis. Couple of years ago while shooting for the Maharashtra Govt. documentary on thane creek I had shot these. It becomes a bit tough because of the distance. The details are a bit less probably because of large crop and because of exposure. The dark colours need to be exposed well. If the dark areas are touching the left side of the histogram then there won't be much data in those areas. So you will get noise and less details. This article gives an explanation about exposure: https://www.indiawilds.com/forums/sh...rrect-Exposure Cheers,Sabyasachi

Nice sighting. I feel a slight more space at the bottom would have helped to get the reflections in full. You can try using a hide or choose a spot and wait, so there is a chance that the birds might come closer to you. Thanks for sharing.
