Painted Stork from my trip to Krishna River

Hello Everyone,
Painted Stork from my trip to Krishna River..
Canon 1ds mark2 with 100-400.
Exif:
f/10
1/400
ISO 400

Thank u..

Nice to see it catching the nesting material. The eye contact is nice. A vertical composition with some more space at the bottom would be good as the feet are nearly touching the frame. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

P.S - There are a 1-2 dust spots near the left frame.

For tall birds vertical is often the better compositional choice.

The underside of the wings have become dark and has lost details. The cropping is tight and the digits on one leg has been cutoff. So more space would be better. The thick border distracts from critiquing. Border looks good when you print and frame it and not on critiquing forums.

Cheers,
