    Pardon my recent absence here. The time of year when my business starts cranking up is unfortunately upon me.

    Wood Stork from yesterday.

    Mike:

    Excellent exposure and control of the whites. Even though the body is angled a bit away, the head position is very nice. I find the perch adds to the picture for me. The shape almost acts as a visual cradle for the bird.
    Sharp.

    These birds always look prehistoric to me.

    Thanks

    Randy

    I am glad your business is picking up, even if it means fewer posts!

    Exposure control and details look good. I might crop it as a vertical.

    Well done as above. De-SAT-ing the yellow channel or taking yellow out of the whites in Selective Color might give the whites a cleaner look.
