Adams:
I like the concept of this image, a bare ugly perch to match his bare ugly head, wood to boot! Nice head angle for a look back pose.
I think that the perch is too massive for him however.
Clouds are very nice.
I also am a bit bothered by the large broken limb hanging down.
Adams, really really liked this one. well seen and composed. Clouds adding a lot. Loved the perch. Big congrats. Pulling off 'subject small in frame' shots is so much harder with birds than animals. You have done it wonderfully well here.
Nice work, Adams. I like your composition alot and the clouds are a great element. THe one thing that detracts in my opinion is the broken hanging branch, makes my eye drift over to it and away from the stork. (If you're ok with it, it could be easily evicted)
