Show your Bird Portraits

I was out at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge in Williams and brought along my SX 50 HS, along with my 6D/60D.

The image of the Ibis was captured with the SX 50 using a tripod.

1/250 sec; f/6.5; ISO 100, 215mm

Cropped, some LR, some Nik and used PS oil paint filter

The image in the forum looks darker by a bit, compared to what I see in PS

He's baack! I think he likes me. He would pose with each peanut before taking off this time.


(P.S. Utterly HORRID lighting...I wanted better light, but direct edge-on sunlight...no. Slightly diffused would have been sublime!)

Great bird with colours that compliment the backgrounds. Wish I had similar birds here.

From the looks of it, I would say that he's eyeing you in a curious way, instead of the first variants where the appearance was more nervous. Soon you'll have him eating nuts out of your hand. Bring out the WA, or the 100/2.8, and start the training... :)
