Bringing the newborn year

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

An image from last (late) spring - in many areas of the world, including Italy, storks are traditionally considered carriers of newborn babies… Here, this one is bringing us the new year.

So, my best wishes of peace, good health and prosperity to all the friends in NPN, hoping we humans will finally become a bit wiser.

Happy New Year, Antonello. May your wish come true. I really like the pose and the setting you found the stork in.

Happy New Year. The whites look good on the stork and the BG has nice colors…Jim

A lovely image, Antonello. I really like the pose of the bird in this image-it’s so graceful.

Happy New Year.

Hi Antonello, Happy New Year…I like the crop given the white flowers on the left. Including a significant patch of them helps to balance the image. Nice pose from the bird. Well captured.

Thank you all for your comments!

Another superb looking image with excellent tonal qualities. Great pose.
