Rock pools, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

Ricketts Point is a marine sanctuary on Port Philip bay in the south east surburbs of Melbourne. The sandstone rock extends from the shore and supports a wide variety of flora and fauna.

So, for those who think I take too many pictures of birds, this one is a picture of the rock pools at Ricketts Point. It is not a picture of a white ibis, that just happened to be there :-)

Hello Stephen. The happened to be there white ibis is in tact sharp focus with excellent detail. Well managed metering in shallow depth exposing the plumage well in the frame. Best regards. Jusni

Hi Stephen,

Nice rocks and ibis :-) Indeed the white ibis complement the rocks very well. The left placement of the bird is effective to show us a bluerred background. Good light and details. Thanks :-)

Hi Steve, those rock pools look pretty ordinary in this shot, out of focus, no reflections etc etc etc. I would say that you were extremely lucky that this Ibis came along & spoilt your pools shot, because he/she looks fantastic, sharpness,colour, detail & well positioned in the frame. Nice looking bird, well captured.
Take care
Santo
