[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae, breeding in the warmer parts of Europe (north to Estonia), northwest Africa, and southwest Asia (east to southern Kazakhstan). It is a strong migrant, wintering mainly in tropical Africa, down to the south of South Africa, and also in the Indian Subcontinent.

It is a huge bird, 100-125 cm (40-50 in.) tall, with a 155-200 cm (61-79 in) wingspan and a weight of 2.3-4.5 kg (5-10 lbs). It is completely white except for the black wing flight feathers, and its red bill and legs. It walks slowly and steadily on the ground. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched.

Hi MArx,
A very good portait of this stork!
I like the POV and the pose catcehd into the framing.
It's not an easy shot with that harsh light over, but besides the OE parts on the head, the details on the feathers are excellent.
I like very much the vertical composition made.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM
