[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 2.5-5kg (5-10 lbs). It is completely white except for the black wing flight feathers, and its red bill and legs, which are black on juveniles. It walks slowly and steadily on the ground. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched.

Salut Alex,

Iata o fotografie iesita din comun. Toata lumea pozeaza cuiburi de barza cu/fara berze in cuib, de jos in sus, cu un cioc sau cap de barza vizibil, incadrand mult din stalpul pe care-i cuibul, si asteapta sa fi extaziat de ce-a iesit.
Tu ai reusit ceva deosebit, ce degaja tihna si liniste, frumos ca si compozitie si culoare.
Felicitari, Dan

o fotografie deosebita pe care as pozitiona-o pe locul 2 in topul fotografiilor cu berze pe care le-am vazut pe internet.
pe locul 1 in preferintele mele ar fi tot a unui roman, un prieten de-al meu din Zarnesti:

ai ridicat contrastul de ai obtinut berzele si cuibul complet negru ?

Salut Alex
Culorile sunt superbe, contrastul, de asemenea!
Numai bine, Oana

Hello Alexandru,
a great shot full of warmth and good details. The colour of the sky is fantastic and even so is the silhouette of the stork and its nest. Well seen and captured.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Alexandru,
Very nice effect and wonderful colours. Excellent capture of this nest with the adult well placed. TFS,
