About time I explained how LUCKY I was to catch this. I saw the ibis wandering along the edge of the dam, asked my pup to stay...shes never behind me when I get close to the dam, not sure why she was this day.....moved stealthily closer, all the while trying to get my camera focussed on the spot where I expected the bird to fly. I think I took about 6 more steps before it took off, and I managed to shoot two images as it did. This one was the better of the two. When I returned home and looked closer, I discovered that there was a kangaroo and two ducks also at the edge of the dam, hadn't even noticed them when I took the shots. I did, however, see a couple of roos bounding away soon after taking the photos, with my pup in pursuit!

How the heck did you get all those animals in there? You're incredibly lucky I'd say! (Well that fits the challenge, doesn't it?). That's also why I excuse the otherwise weak link to the challenge.

Not so much on meeting the challenge.....I LOVE this photo and I'm trying to make it work in my mind for the challenge...really really reaching here...with that said I still give it a 10! a rabbit, little birds, flying bird, mist and sun rays...what a capture! It looks like a fairy tale....It's a favorite for me!

Interesting and compelling picture, but the challenge tie-in is weak.

Wonderful image. Great exposure. Balanced composition. Fairy tale setting. I have counted four animals so far (three to go to get to seven). How did you do this or were you just very, very lucky being at the right place the right time? Great shot. 10 from me.
