I captured this image of a Wood Stork at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida. I had to shoot at a more upward angle than I would have liked other wise the background was cluttered with out of focus buildings. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I just cannot think of an avian species with a more appropriate name:)
Nice work in the field - I really like the POV, I find it helps to emphasise the shape and size of this amazing bill. Great techs too, this is well exposed and sharp as can be.
Perfect framing and presentation, good detail and colours, spotless BG. I like everything about this and it gave me great pleasure to view, many thanks for sharing.
