Oh that is the Long Billed Knobbe Kneeling....
As you might suspect that's not the birds real name, but that being said I like the image and the texture you placed on the background. Gives it a bit of a painterly feel.
Oh and I think it's really a White Ibis...
Definitely an Ibis. Is this a stained glass effect?

Nice job Barry. I like the soft splash of green in the foreground that adds depth to the picture. Looks like you used a frosted shower door for the background!
Interesting treatment--both you and Steve have gone texture on me.
I'm with Brian, I do not have a clue as to what bird it is, other than being a white one on a tree stump.
Good composition and nice blurred background.
Brian was right - a white ibis. Love the texture on this one. I normally don't texture nature images, but it does take an image into another world when you texture ... or gives it a new life as something different - it's like trying on new clothes.
Thanks everyone!
I appreciate the ID on the bird!
I didn't actually use a texture here. The "texture" is all bokeh from the lens and noise from the camera, exaggerated with a little sharpening and contrast adjustments. I thought the results were especially interesting considering that I didn't use a texture.
Cheers!

I love the texture in the back!
I'm not a fan of the supergrainy effect as it seems to put the bird a bit out of focus.
Nice job.

Thanks Lsanian!
I think the shot probably is slightly out of focus. I beleive I was handholding with my 100-400mm zoom at 400mm.
Cheers!
Barry
