    A common bird in the South of Spain, were I live, but a beautiful species that I really like. Your comments and critics are highly appreciated:)

    Beautiful indeed. Gorgeous composition and detail in the whites. Only wish is for a bit of detail in the blacks (fill-flash?)

    Lovely Juan. Really leaps out against that deep blue sky. Lovely detail in the whites and just enough still in the blacks. Almost looks like a painting it's so perfect.

    Great pose and eye contact. There is a bit of noise in the blacks, other than that it looks great.

    Good looking bird with perfect wing position. Diagonal make for string compo. Fantastica!

    If you can bring out some detail in the blacks on the stork's right wing (our left) to match more closely the other that would be great. Nice wingspread, and I like the translucence of the tail feathers.

    Beautiful image of a beautiful bird Juan. I had hoped to see this species when I was in Barcelona in July but unfortunately only a captive one at the zoo.
