| Dumb Question of the day: What do you focus on in a situation like this? Obviously I don't do much wildlife shooting. Did you meter on the sky? I guess I'm having trouble imagining time to meter and focus on the bird in flight? |

| Great stop motion capture. I like how you managed to shoot with the wings spread out like that. Looks great against the yellowish sky. Bumping up! |

| What really makes this shot beautiful is the stork and the golden hues of the sky. Absolutely love the outsretched wings of this stork/crane taking flight. It takes flight into a golden sky. The golden hues are both warm & soothing. The color of the sky makes me think of a early morning when there is a hushed quiet that is only broken by the flapping of wings. I am looking at this image and I do see one simple way to posibly improve on it should you like the suggestion. Are you familiar with some of those Japanese paintings done on corkboard. Some are very beautiful and elegant. Most of those I have seen feature birds such as peacocks, storks or cranes. Because they are painted on cork the composition of such art is mostly tall, rectangular panels. I think you can easily mimic that Japanese styled artwork by cropping 1/3 of the picture from the left. That way the ascent of the stork/crane dominates the scene even more. |

| You have captured a classic heron form there. I would have been inclined to crop some of the sky at the top of the image. |

| Would have worked well in the Zen challenge. I sorta wish the horizon wasn't there at all for a total minimalism shot, but it's not a huge deal. The does look soft compared to the crane. I love the gradient 7. |

| imo I think the bird has become detached from the photo, a bit too much pp which is a big shame, the capture looks great |

This is an excellent capture! I've been trying for months to catch one of these in flight- we have a lot of these around here.
I love the gold bg too. Great work! |
