Yet another photo of this ibis.

The form in this photo seems a bit odd in a way, and I think it’s due to seldom seeing a photo of a bird at this point of the cleaning process.

This is my submission into the three hundredth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Delicate“.

Nature is a resilient thing, and whilst I am fortunate enough to be able to see something like an ibis cleaning, despite being in a rather open space, it’s also in a controlled environment. When it comes to human impact, the natural world is a delicate thing, and it needs more care and projection.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Donna

Egídio

Ritva

Leya is curating this one. Next week Sofia is curating and her theme may be something “Floral”.

I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
