    Welcome, Ganesh. I like the idea, mood and composition. For a silhouette image I find the bright whites a bit distracting. Could you describe your postprocessing technique? I'm not sure why the BG is so dark considering that the sun was shining.

    Axel, it is a back lit image with dense jungles at the distant background. By "bright-white" did you mean neck? If so, it is backlit "woolly-neck" ! Thanks for your views!

    I see, Ganesh. Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I meant the spots on the neck. I look forward to your posts.

    Love the idea and selected crop Very elegant image I am trying to see more of these when I go out photographing My only suggestion is to tone down the left white spot on the neck just a tad Big Congrats I like this a lot !!!!!!

    Very dramatique capture and I find the composition very pleasing, Nits already mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

    Welcome, Ganesh! I am a fan of your approach to bird photography as I've seen many of your posts on NPN and the way in which you strive to show off the bird in the environment rather than concentrating on the closeup of the bird is something I find very refreshing. I too am trying to do the same in my own photography but not with as much success as you have been showing!

    This particular image I find very appealing. The stark contrasts between all of the darker areas with the storks "woolly-neck" makes for a very dramatic composition.
