Nice closeup. I liked the composition. Nice clean background, but there seems to be some noise. Is this a crop? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image of the stork. The open bill.beak is well seen here. Agree with mrudul's comments. A vertical composition would also have looked nice. Thanks for sharing.

The open bill is nicely documented. It would have been even better if you could have got one with a snail. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks everybody. Yes cropped out approximately 30 percent. It crtainly would have been nice with a snail but probably it had its belly full :001_smile:
