A Yellow-Billed Stork gets a rather large late breakfast, which was eventually swallowed.

Very interesting bird to me and I like the capture of it eating. VG environmental shot. It seems to have a magenta cast to me. In PS I Went to color balance and did a quick green boost of 23 and it looks better (to me.) I also boosted the contrast and took a bit off the top. Tell me what you think.

I have a problem with editing. I don't like the fact that I cannot delete an image. In this case I posted an image and as soon as I did I realized I forgot to check something on the image. When I did I knew it required a change. I went to edit, I deleted my image and posted a new one. However, both images show up when I save it. :(

Allan,

Thanks alot for your suggestions.

Not to sure about the magenta cast, as I think reducing it has reduced the colour in the feathers, which is quite natural to my eyes.

The top of the image would have been better without any water, but unfortunately it is really difficult to get lower in a vehicle.
