Ken, I like behavioral images and this one is exceptional. Nicely composed, the raised foot implies movement, just the right head turn, and the green background compliments the stork. Did I mention the fish? Dave

Great timing on this one Ken. Also love the rich colors. He looks like he's about to choke on that fish...
