I waited years for this photograph. It was taken on the banks of the Crocodile River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. I watched the storks flying past many times, but the light was never good, and I needed a windless day for the reflection. Finally, a perfect day came along, with slightly overcast, soft light. I waited for about an hour when finally the perfect opportunity presented itself. Cleaned the background very slightly. Processed in LR and PS.
