Fabs--this one is amazing! Fantastic detail in the feathers--interesting pose, and the water droplets put it over the top. Super!

I love wood storks. All of mine however are in grass or distracting bg's. Very nice whites here Fabs. Very nice. Love the about to take off look. Water drops and the green in the wing tips are a bonus.

Hi Fabs,
Thought I recognized this guy! Very nicely done! How could you not love that sweet green water?!!! The water drop just adds to the action and the irridescence of the wing really comes through!
