Nice portrait. The light seems a bit harsh and the whites are blown. Maybe a higher aperture and a bit of negative exposure compensation would have helped.

The environment is pleasing and the clear sky is nice.

thanks for sharing

I agree with Rajan. The image is overexposed so the white portions have lost details. Is this a large crop? May be creating a wider composition to show the tree and surroundings could have been attempted. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback Rajan and Sabyasachi. This is not crop. i have learnt about the overexposure now, earlier i used to think more the natural light the better. Also details are heavily lost in scaling the Image size from 4MB to 300k. In orginal image, the details on storks feathers are coming out better.
Yes, there was a very goood opportunity for me to create a wider composition even with my P&S, i never saw storks so near and clear.

Nice to see the congregation of these beautiful birds perched on a single and nearby trees. From a distance the image looks much better. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
