Wood Stork Profile

[Sachin Saraf]

Took this image during last years trip to Florida. This was one cooperative bird.

Full Frame, BG is reflection of vegetation in water.

PP - NR on BG, sharpening and curve adjustment.

C&C most welcome

Excellent shot. Pose and ha seem perfect. BG is lovely as well and I like the composition.

You have a lovely profile shot here with exp and nice soft light and good BG. The crop doesn't work for me as the bird's head is in the middle of the frame. Since this is full frame, it would be touch to recompose unless you add space, but I would take some off of the left. I just took into PS and took some off of the left and a tad off the top and gave it a squarish crop which I think looked excellent.

that's a cool pose and nice light, good details I'm with Marina regarding moving him to the left

[RakeshDhareshwar]

Amazing details you have here . I would in fact crop closer to bring that 'in your face' effect .

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot. Excellent head angle, exposed very well, superb detail, and wonderful background.
Well done.

I really like this. Agree with cropping s bit from the left to move the bird out of the center. The BG is lovely.Your IQ is suprb with this one,

Hi Sachin, excellent detail on the head and bill, and I do like the BG colours. When I normally compose a 'head shot', I normally crop just behind the head, so I agree with the others about moving him back to the left.

[Sachin Saraf]

Thank you everyone for the kind comments and suggestions...I will re compose this as suggested.
