Cultural associations

According to mythology, the 'stork' is responsible for bringing babies to new parents. This story probably came about because White Storks have a habit of nesting on buildings in urban areas, so they are often seen around human habitation.

Lithuanians and Poles believe that storks bring harmony to a family on whose property they nest. The White Stork is the national bird of Lithuania. It is also - set against a yellow and green background - the symbol of the city of The Hague, The Netherlands.

Hello Stefan,
This lightning is very special and so is this POV, exposure and colors...

From what I see, I think that the picture is back lighted but the white colors and details are so amazing that it seems almost impossible so; please, give me your trick! You tame them, don't you? :) TFS,
Claudine

Hi Stefan, another fine shot from you. I like the closeup and being able to see that magnificent beak! The feathers are rendered beautifully here, all nice and sharp with good light and shadows. I had never thought of the Stork being particularly pretty, but this one is, such lovely eyes. Great POV, looking in from the right. Very good colorus. Wonderful composition.

Hi Stefan.
Very impressive beautiful portrait shot. I like its razor sharpness, terrific blurred and illuminated BG, excellent cropping and framing of this shot. DOF is simply great as well as POV. You show excellent features of your equipment (and, of cause, skillfulness). My best wishes and TFS.

Hello Stefan !
What a great portrait of this White Stork ! You managed to capture some excellent details on the face and the feathers. I also like the blurred BG, the natural colors and the composition a lot. Very well done !

Hi Stev!
A great close-up image of this bird with rich mystical associations in human cultures and civlizations.
It is a difficult backlit perspective which you have managed very well.

What a wonderfully sharp image. The whites are so nicely exposed in the low light. It's a nice tight crop and a lovely tilt to the head.
