My Mama Says I'm Pretty

I photographed this image of a juvenile wood stork yesterday at Anhinga in the Everglades with my Canon 1D MK IV around sunset on a heavily overcast day. ISO 1600, f/5.6, 1/125sec, +0.67EV, EF100-400mm, f4.5-5.6L IS USM, 200mm, Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. Comments Welcome....

I like this Richard. I think it is an interesting pose with good feather detail. Maybe others would wish for a different HA and more eye contact. Good example of what the 1DMK IV can do with low light at ISO 1600.:)

I like the pose and feather detail, nice eye and head angle - works for me. Well done in low light with slow shutter.

A pensive looking wood stork. Looks like you have the full range of the histogram covered. Good sharpness. Like it Richard.

Love the details and the look-back ! I think I would enhance the contrast of the eye a bit though.

saw it this morning and my first thoughts were SUPERB!! awesome white detail and tack sharp. i like desmond's idea of adding some contrast to the eye. great job on this one!!!!!!!
