Took this shot of lesser adjutant Stork in Assam, NE India. Canon 1 D Mark II and EF 400/5.6 L Lens. Look forward to your comments on improving the image and composition. Used shadow/highlight, levels, curve, selective colour, saturation and brightened eyes.
I really like the pose and the setting here, the trail of water is a nice touch. IMO the subject needs to be brighter. It helps to post your techs so people can offer improvement suggestions. Some ff would have helped here. As is, tyou can use some more shadow/highlight on the subject.
