 Hope this meets the challenge. I kept trying different photos and I liked this one best. I predict a 5.2. Just wanted to enter another challenge. :)

I don't know why this particular Ibis looked so disheveled. The others all had smooth feathers. He was cute and comical as he wandered around the park. There's one in every crowd! :)

Poor guy looks like he's stepping out of an oil slick. Great textures in the grass as well as his feathers. Excellent depth of field, with the water just a shimmery background. Great icy color to the eye as well. A very interesting take on this idea. Well done.
