Some wading, some flying, I wonder how this looks now after two resizing's for this site.

Quite a variety of species there. Some of the whites look overexposed, I would go for another round of sharpening and too bad the wood stork's legs are clipped.
Very interesting composition. I might lose the woodstork and crop the bottom.
Thanks, I think loosing the Wood Stork on bottom may help a lot.
Hey Bil,
This image doesnt even look real it reminds me of a composite :)
Other than the side lighting I like the image, although losing the Woodstork would help with the comp. Too bad you were not able to fit the entire WS in the frame.

Hi Robert, I have been studying how to get rid of the wood stork OR repairing the legs, This image is guaranteed real and with only some cloning out of reflections up top almost as was taken. Still trying how my PS skills would take it out as I usually mess it up beyond repair. :)
Gave it a try just for you Bill.
Looks okay to me but let me know what you think.
Cropped some from the bottom than used APTATS quick mask techniques to cover any of the Wood Stork that was left at the bottom of the frame. This was a good image to show what can be done with repair techniques and of course I don't have a problem with this repair as long as the viewers know that a birds head was removed from the image.

Looks great Robert. That was just exactly what I was going to try. I have trouble using the mask tool as I cant get the mask moved to where I want it to go to cover the subject. I have reverted back to just using the clone tool. This image looks perfect to me now and thanks for submitting it. I was thinking about trying to add a few species to the bottom corners but will have to get some ready for that.
