Very interesting shot. Where was this taken? Would do less crop and leave space on the left for him to fly into.

Very crisp where it matters, Basri. Well done.

Good flight pose with eye contact. The white area under the stork seems a little soft. I might of used a wider aperture to increase shutter speed and possibly reduce ISO. Nice job in getting this flight shot.

Don't think I have ever seen this species before. I like the water reflection on the underside of the wings.
