This was taken at the pond behind my house last month. I often see a lot of the common waders, but its more unusual to have the storks feeding here. Early morning light. Canon 5D, 1/800, f/5.6, 100-400 mm zoom at 400. Thanks for looking.
Very eye-catching image, Cindy. Beautiful light on the head and beak, excellent sharpness, and a great background. My only small nit is that I wish the head was turned a couple of degrees toward you. If it was mine, I might experiment with cropping a little off the right and bottom.
Very nicely done Cindy; especially when you have the white and black tones together. Love the composition, background rich blue color and the details that stand out on your bird...:)
Only a better head turn would improve this. Excellent details, and the light looks great. The 100-400 is quite under-rated for it's IQ sometimes :cool:.
Very nice work, Cindy. I really like the lighting, composition, and background. I can only echo the sentiment of everyone else, a bit of a head turn would make a world of difference.
