White Ibis

The lighting on this guy was horrible as was the background.  The two combined to make a striking image. Properly exposing the highlights caused the background to go black.  There is a lot of noise in the blacks but the photo prints surprisingly well as long as you don't go over an 8x10.  I took this shot in a drainage ditch in downtown Ocala.  The amount of litter in one small section of this ditch just flabbergasted me - come on people and use the trash cans.
