The Meadow Walker

[Richard Unsworth]

Hurrah another Stork!
This time walking the beautiful spring neadow looking for bugs, frogs and snakes.
Its quite unusual to get a nice close look of them on the ground as normally they will not tolerate vehicles or manking in close proximity. This one has a beetle or grasshopper and will be fattening up for breeding and raising chicks. T he storks are currently mating so eggs are going To appear now.
Shot into cross light as the only option.
Processed in ACR , Curve adjusted slight, very light NR with little noise.

You handled the light well Richard, I like the environment, the yellow and white flowers add nice color to this image. I like the striding pose.
