Fantastic great shot I don’t think that I have taken one woodstork photo satisfactory. I find them difficult from a technical point (high contrast) and esthetic (not a hansom species) You have done justice to their kind.

Really like it.

Wonderful shot of this juvi. The nice BG and the small amount of greenery enhance the image.

Nice capture! It's hard to get them in mid yawn with their eyes open. How many tries did it take?

Jim, it took me 1 hour and 4 tries....then the woodstork was so tired that he fell asleep!

Manuel, Great capture of this youngster's major yawn!!! Super details, and I like the bunch of leaves, too.

What a great shot! It's wonderful. Alex and I must have connected monitors because I agree almost 99% with his contrast observations; could use a slight mid-tone adjustment.
