[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 828290, member: 50197"] Haven't been out shooting lately. On the way home I saw some wading birds at a nearby pond. Not exciting subjects or background, but I needed the practice, so I grabbed my camera and headed back out to the pond. Decided to try and shake it up a little with something a tad more creative. Not sure I nailed it, but it is different. On the plus side, it has texture and mood. On the down side, I would have liked a little more detail in the ibis' head.

Bird's head isn't quite sharp, and worse, the highlights on the back are blown out. I had my camera set to -1 stop compensation, but it wasn't enough.
