Another interesting shot of the stork. I like the lighting on the body, and the reflection in the water. Can't wait 'til I retire and can devote my time to traveling and photography. Thanks for sharing.

supergold - Excellent bird capture, love the reflection.
Camera technique is as usual dead on target. Eye and feather detail is awesome.
A large bird with a larger than life bill.
DOF, composition and framing are all stellar.
Way to go with the birds ... B-)) Bob

My first reaction is that he looks squashed from the top down but that aside it is a well focused image with good color and lighting.
Cheers Mary

Great reflection shot. I think it was cropped a bit to much on the birds head and needed to be cropped more on the side. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Gail Ross
This is a bird I've never seen before. I like the moss green feathers under the brown feathers. It looks like its bill has a dark band of color around the center of its bill. The ripple in the water and the reflection add interest.

cool capture ad yeah i can see the gap in the beak. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the bird in water hunting is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Quite a nice bird shot posted here. Your fine composition works well in terms of showing us the bird and it's reflection. Just a pity the surface of the water was not still. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done!

Great focus and reflection in the water. The top is a little tight but it still looks great. Great information about this stork as well and you can see the open part of his beak also which is pretty neat. Good natural lighting as well nicely done overall
