Immature Wood Stork

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida. I have been archiving and filing images and when I think I could do better on the post processing I work on the image again. This image I worked up this morning. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Solid portrait here. Like the framing and the soft light. Hair do is a plus as well. Nice blue background.

Is this a selfie ? Like the twinkle in its eye.

Everything is spot on with this image, Joe. Great defused light, very fine detail, and I especially like the clarity, glassy reflected detail in the eye. Well done.
