Just Dropping In....

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this Wood Stork dropping down for a landing at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. YESSS, it did land on that branch. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I think this image would look awesome as a vertical.
Nice and sharp but the strong light has created a bit of shadow on the inner wing. Do you think you can get a bit of detail out of that area?

Excellent capture., the tree in the frame is a great complimentary element, Joe.

What a fun image Joseph, the Stork seems to drop out of the sky at some speed:)

A difficult one to expose but you have done well - love the vivid colours, this is razor sharp indeed.

I would try get some more detail in the blacks and maybe going vertical with this not a bad idea?

Love this, well seen and captured, thank you for sharing

Kind regards,
