Stork

I've met this fellow two weeks ago during one of my trips when he was walking and flying around searching for food.

Didn't like to see photos going without any comment :D . I prefer the first picture - seems clearer? The colours are very vibrant, perhaps a bit too much? Could just have been a bright day I suppose. It is a very impressive bird none the less.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Thanks Birma!

Second image has some motion blur (I didn't have time to adjust shutter speed on that one). As for colors of first image - they weren't adjusted except contrast to darken greens in background. I'm however shooting in vivid mode all the time :)

Good to see some more bird photos! The green in the first one seems a bit strong, but still looks good. I like the second one also with the bird in flight. I don't see storks around here.

Very nice Doc - those beaks are an amazing red colour. A nice scene of stork intimacy. (Pity about that pesky wire in the bottom left.)
