Restricted proud beauty! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Attica Zoological Park.
This stork became my model for a short time!
I enjoyed it!
Thanks to TrekEarth, you too can enjoy it!

No process, only sharpening.
In Workshop you 'll find an older photo of the same species, free in nature. Captured then with my Nikon F65 always alive and activist!

Merhaba Athanasios, I like how proud he looks :) The flying stork at the background adds dynamism to your composition. Lovely photo with natural colours and good use of light. And the photo is not processed, that's what I admired. Regards, Tolga

Γεια σου Αθανάσιε
εκπληκτικό κοντινό πορτραίτο που θα μπορούσες να το έχεις μόνο σένα ζωολογικό πάρκο γιατί ως γνωστό είναι αδύνατο να πλησιάσεις τόσο κοντά ένα λευκό Πελαργό ( Ciconia Ciconia ) στο φυσικό του περιβάλλον , μου αρέσει επίσης που στην σύνθεση σου έχεις συμπερίλαβει τον ιπτάμενο Γλάρο (Laridae) εύγε!
χαιρετώ

Excellent angle to show the greatness and the beauty of this bird against the sky! What a timing to have the other one pass behind at a distance! Thank you for sharing! ΦΙΛΙΚΑ Στέλλα

Wow, what a model! Excellent sharpness, beautiful colours. Lovely.

Bonjour Athanasios,
ce n'est pas banal une contre plongée pour photographier toute la majesté d'un oiseau. Cela lui donne un air imposant, dominateur. Sujet bien traité, lumières et couleurs parfaites.
Amicalement.
Daniel

Geia sou Thanasi,
Two great shots of this lovely bird. The composition is really nice and the colours well saturated. I saw some of them free in the region of Thessaloniki two years ago. In Belgium there are rare visitors and only one single couple is nesting on the chemny of a castle for all the country (except in Zoological parks). A great symbol of Spring and life!
