Wood Stork

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I wish I had more room at the bottom but I do not. I tried adding canvas but I did not like the result. The only North American stork, once endangered but seems to be making a come back. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Looking nice Joe....Yes more room on the bottom, but ....what a great flight pose....The under wing detail looks real good.....The BG shows the bird well....Very nice....I can see why adding canvas wouldn't be easy.
