Photographer’s Note
This photo was taken at the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere.
This is the saddle-billed stork.
Quick fact:
"Storks differ from other birds in that they have no muscles in their voice boxes. They communicate by rattling their bills. They are all strong flyers and alternately flap and glide across the sky. Fossil records date storks back some 50 million years, making them an ancient group of birds."

Hi Mary,
It is a good choice to put the stork's bill in the diagonal of the frame. That way, the stork looks so strong and majestic. I also like the green blurred background, the black colour of the bird really stands out in relief. Good job.
