The lonely Stork

I was surprised to see this stork all alone on a field. They normally come from Europe to spend the summer here. Late summer they start their flight back, this one must have missed it's flight.

What a beautiful capture. It could almost be a painting.

That is a lovely photo. Did you put the background in, or is that what was there?

[Helge E. Storheim]

Nice image and editing. Nice to see a stork too - they never come as far north as Norway so I've never seen one in real life.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Oh oh, I hope he os okay. Hopefully just a delay in flight. Great shot, beautiful bird and nicely edit.

Wonderful light on him and a fabulous photo worthy of any bird book. Maybe he’s just staying behind to see if he misses anything when he leaves

@jeneurell I always put in my tags what it is or what I've done Jennifer. The background was really ugly so I used a texture :-)

[Jennifer Eurell]

@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana. I worked really well.

[Wylie]

Oh, poor thing. Maybe couldn't get a mask to fit? Beautifully done with texture as usual. fav
