    Sameer:

    Like the flared primaries, dangling feet, head clear of merge with wings.

    The crop is a bit tight for me, would recommend adding space all the way around, esp on the sides.

    Where was this one taken?

    Cheers

    Randy

    Thanks Randy.
    Yes, I sure have cropped much than needed.
    I don't know if I can change the image now!
    It was taken at Khijadia Bird Sanctuary, Jamnagar, India. I shot it when Blacked-necked was chasing a Painted Stork.
    Have a nice day.

    Sameer:

    You can repost a revised version of the image. Don't remove the original, just do a reply to your own thread, use the manage attachments button in the box below the entry box, and upload your revised version.

    Cheers

    Another vote for more room all around. Also I might boost the exposure just a little.

    Neat! More room around and a bit more sharpening will improve on what looks like a good image of this stork. As a "Forum Participant" you will only be able to post a link to your new image in your reply - again, make sure you keep the original up for comparision.

    Sam:

    I like the repost, bird looks much less crowded.

    One additional option re: framing of bird, is to move him just a bit to the right in the frame, so he has a little more room to the left to fly into. This certainly isn't a bit point, but some prefer a less centered subject.

    Cheers

    Randy
