Pink Feet...

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image of a Wood Stork several years ago at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I have been revisiting some old images processing them again with new software and skills. The Wood Stork is the only member of the family that breeds in North America, it is listed as threatened in the state of Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hoho a Ballerina on a thick stick ...
Hi Joe i do like the overall elegance of the subject and scene .
Needs more room at the foot and i think the colors need some minor tweaking ... see my RP .

Nice one and TFS Andreas

Subject and perch look very good. Pity about the foliage behind, but it is what it is. Composition looks good regardless. Andreas's tiny tweaks looks great. It looks like he warmed it a bit, but I'm the last person to comment on WB particulars!
