Some folks think Wood Storks are not very attractive birds but I find them quite interesting. This is one from Costa Rica. C&C encouraged and greatly appreciated.

Overall this is a great shot. The white on the shoulder is a bit bright, losing some details. Sharpening, it is a bit over, pay close attention along the white edges, the dark line.
If it were mine, I would crop more of the body, shows more on the face and some neck. Just a personal preference.
TFS.
Great pose with a perfect head turn. Sharpness looks good on my monitor. I like Troy's idea of a slightly tighter crop; I'd take a little off the left and the bottom.
I like it as presented because I like the detail in the whites and the black around the wins. I think a tighter crop would certainly be a nice image as well but I would keep this one. I like the HA. Cool looking bird.
