Hi Brian!
That's an interesting Avian creature,isn't it?
Your photograph of it extending it's wings as if it's about to launch itself into the air is very enjoyable to see!
'Good Show',my friend!

A very nicely timed shot to catch the wings in such an attractive position. The cropping is good and the stork is shown in fine detail. Best of luck in the contest.

An interesting nature photo posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us a good look at it. Somehow it looks a little bedraggled? Does your title suggest it cannot fly for some reason? Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

thanks nikman for the good comments,it was in not to large an enclosure.

Comment from June Van Klaveren
I really like how you captured this guy preparing to fly. The focus is so perfect that the band on his leg shows up. The position of him off to the left also adds to the beauty of the shot.

Very nice timing to capture this pose, good stop of this action. This is a beautiful bird! It's interesting to see , I love it's long legs! Well placed in the frame, well focused, the image is clear, exposure is mostly good, the white feathers are a bit hot. I like the way you composed this. Well presented!
