I like all the imperfections of the Stork. Nice capture. This bird too can use a layer of moisturizer :biggrin:

I wouldn't call him ugly. I think it is a pretty cool looking bird. A nicer setting would have helped and maybe a lower angle. What is a "drifting bird"? Did you mean boat?

Robert,
A drifting bird would have been interesting, it was of course a boat :biggrin:
