I would have liked more room at the bottom, but the 300 was too much lens, and I couldn't back up any further without swimming!.
Had to add canvas as it was.

Sandy, gorgeous image of the mating pair! Love the texture in the feathers and the perfect capture of the affection between them. (yes, I do believe animals show affection for one another).

Touching moment well caught! I like the detail you have in both the light and dark feathers. Good BG, sets the storks off very well. A pleasing image. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding Sandy! Everything from the marvelous detail and processing of the whites and blacks to the very complimentary background and of course the sweet intimate moment you captured. Well done! devil
