[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A white stork passed my way this morning on his stopover by the Rhine. He came from northern Europe and has no ring - so either his parents were very clever or he grew up at a place out of reach. He had no fear against roads with cars and trucks and landed on a streetlamp. Maybe he grow up in a bigger town,
I hope he will pass all the manmade hints on his way back to Africa, where he will spend next winter and come back next year.

Hi Mick Dundee. What a catch - very good action shot of the stork coming in to land (and on a streetlamp too!) His body and head are nice and sharp, it is a pity about the wings, but I think it is so good you were able to get him on his way back home all those thousands of miles away. Actually the blurred wing ends emphasise how he uses those feathers and makes the capture much more interesting. Good job. TFS.

Hello Thomas!

Fantastic shot! You definitely caught it at the right moment. This really shows off the majestic wings these birds have.

I think the composition will improve if you crop the left area but leave the right side as is. That will emphasize it's movement.

There seems to be a slight halo around it. An artefact of a sharpening filter, perhaps?

Oh, and please change that border. :)

Cheers!

Such an innocent. I wish him luck as well, and hopes he makes it all the way to Africa. A daunting thought, when you think of it.
Great shot. Love that wing all spread out. Just magnificent and awe-inspiring. Sharp details on this great bird in flight. Well done and TFS. : )
