I shot this Ibis at Loxahatchee Wildlife Preserve. I then worked with it in photoshop to produce the current image. A larger size can be viewed on flickr.

Hi Tom, I don't think I welcomed you to DPS. So welcome to DPS.. I love this photograph and you did so well with the selective colour. Well done this is very nice work. Keep it up.
Nice to see a smiling face in your Avatar.

All the best

Dave.

Nice shot, Thomas! Thanks for adding it to my Selective Color social group! Keep 'em coming! Have lived in Florida for a few years, I've never seen an area more suited to the photographer's eye! Can't wait to see more...especially if you get some 'gators!!

Hello Tom. This is one of several selective colour shots I have seen lately. It is stunning and I see so much potential in the technique. A great shot of my favourite subject. Thank you so much. PAUL
