Hello Ulla
What a superb capture of this White Stork..Even though the light was bright you have exposed it perfectly with a very good balance between Highlights and Shadows.
Its always a juggling act to find enough hours in the day...To many interests and not enough time!!..I am exactly the same!!
Have a good Sunday

hi Ulla,

Great shot of the Stork.
I like the pose with the bird preening itself.
Nicely composed with a lovely natural BG.
Excellent details, colours and light too.

It is at very least our obliged duty to encourage such talent as yourself Ulla! A fine image and just as good for the next number whether it be another 400 of simply 40. Each is special and unique coming from a person of experience and married luckily to a person who also share enjoyment!

Good shot of this White stork preening himself, Ulla. I love his red legs and knobbly knees. Also interesting to see he is banded - that means he is looked after...

A fine preening stork capture against the flattering reeds Ulla, we have a saying here, if you see a stork flying in the spring you will travel a lot that year, but if your first sight is a landed stork, you will stay at home!

Wonderful exposure. The white is so hard to capture. I always tend to over-expose. But you did a great job. Love the detail in the plumage. Good one!

Hello Ulla,

I think you shot this just at the right time! It looks so much more interesting when it is behaving in a natural way, as if no-one as about!
Lovely details and good composition.

kind regards,
Bev :-)

This stork appears to be bashful and there's something endearing about that. I love the POV and I think you captured it at the perfect moment - moments we live for! The turn of his head and his stance makes me almost hear him say 'aw, shucks' when at a loss for words...

The notes are also terrific, but there's no doubt, for this capture, your timing was perfect!

Hi Ulla,
Fantastic shot, awesome compo. Very little OE on a small part of the stork's body, and I'd have cropped a little more from the non-focused bottom, but these are minor problems. Very nice pic overall.
This specie isn't rare in Hungary, in the plains, used to build nest on pylons in the villages.
Tfs, best wishes, László

Hi Ulla, This is a most appealing photo of the stork. I find the pose and colours most engaging. The background is ideal. Congratulations. Murray.
