A really nice crisp shot of what is one ugly bird, Sandy. Nice pose as well. You might consider cropping this to a 4x5 to decenter the bird a bit more.

That's one interesting bird. I'm being a little more kind than Dennis about its appearance. But I do agree with him about the crop.

Really don't see how this is 'centered' - add the rule of thirds grid and it's 90% right of center.
If I moved the stork right in the frame, there is too much dead space on the left, imo.

What an unusual bird... not pretty but one I've never seen. Technically perfect imho. No suggestions.
