Runway Model

[Loi Nguyen]

The Jabiru Stork is the tallest flying bird found in South and Central Americas. We saw them quite often in the Pantanal, often in pairs. This bird came down to the river for a drink. The Jabiru is nearly 5-ft tall and heavy, so they have to do a run before taking off.

Merry Xmas to you as well Loi.
Nice to see you posting again.
I really like this runway pose.The crossed legs add to the "model walk".
Lovely wingspread and whites / blacks look good.
I would do some CW rotation to this image. The far bank may be accurately depicted but I would still rotate this image.
I might also increase the brightness a tiny little bit,

Excellent pose, lovely background. Might need some rotation.

Hi Gail, since I have no more room at the bottom, can't afford to do any rotation and lose more room.

I need to re-calibrate my display in PS may be, not sure what happened here. The image looks very bright in PS, but when I posted, it looks quite a bit darker and duller. Not sure why.

Thank you for your comments.
