A bird from our trip to Brazos Bend State Park last weekend. I don't know what kind of bird this is; I just found it interesting. Anyone know what it is?

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
