Looks like a head shot to me. :) The exposure is perfect on my monitor. The composition works well with the long bill.

Very nice!!

Really an all around nice shot Bill. I like this alot, up close, the appropriate up angle for these guys and a terrific blue background. Thumbs up!

Very nice, Bill. I like the eye contact. Correcting the cyan cast improves the image.

Bill,

The stork looks great against the clean blue background, and I like the fluffed-up look of the feathers! Nicely done!

Wow, the ruff and the eye spark this photo. Like the details in those soft feathers.

Another subject that tough to frame. I think this works well. Nice detail all around.
