"Stinking yet Surviving"

Greater Adjutant Stocks are IUCN Endangered Red Listed with less than 1000 surviving and the number is declining. Scavengers as they are, they feed in Guwahati Dumping Ground near Deepor Beel. These dumping grounds are their habitat and their survival depends on multiple Conservation Issues.
The setting Sun almost peeps through the heavy dust hazed sky and a lone Stork stands on the Trash hill.
I am not posting this in any other category as the Sp. survives in this habitat.
I tried to open up the underexposed parts just a little to give a hint of the habitat and the Sp. and not opting for a full silhouette. I tried to experiment with form and light.

(Nikon D500, 500 F4 G ED VR) Exposure Time - 1/125 seconds, F – 5.6, Exposure Program – Manual, ISO – 100, Metering Mode – Spot, White Balance – Sunny, Focus Mode – AF-C

I appreciate all critiques.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR VIEWING & INPUTS.

Great silhouette – love the placement of the sun and the stork within the frame. Beautiful work.

I like this, very well done. Good choice on showing some detail in the dark areas.
