Woodstork and chick

[Rod Wiley]

This image was created this week end. There was a large group of branches in front of the baby that I need to clone out. I lightened the area around the Storks to give a warm feel to the photo. Rod

Hi Rod,

Good behavior and parent looking down but the highlighted area really takes away from your subject. I think this image belongs to the Out of the Box forum.

[Doug Brown]

I agree with above comments. This belongs in Out of the Box. It's a great photo without the lightened branches.

[Gayle Clement]

I like the look of this one. It does look a bit more like photo art.

[Ken Watkins]

I agree with the above the subject is very good but I do not like the treatment of the branches or background. I would like to see the original for comparison.

Viewing this in the OOTB is a treat. I love the dark head against the white body and the chick begging. The feather detail is excellant. The frame is tight and I Iike it as it adds stature to the bird. I also only wish the bottom branches could be recovered.
