Camera parameters and settings:
Camera body: Canon EOS R7 MKII
Lens: Canon EF 70-200/F:2,8 IS USM
ISO 200; F.5; 75 mm, 1/800 sec
Black Stork in Kiskunsag National Park of Hungary.
I made this photo from Bence Mate's underwater hide, with One-way glass. I trying to take picture with mirror. The bird is coming so nearby, it was only partially successful.
I developed the raw image in Adobe Lightroom. I've utilized crop, exposure correction, texture, vibrance lens profile, luminance noise correction and sharpening. In Adobe Photoshop, I have used levels settings, image size and compression parameters. Finally I have applied Topaz sharpen AI.

This is a fantastic shot! I had to look up Bence Mate's underwater hide - looks like an amazing opportunity. Posted: 07/10/2024 00:15:39
Thank you Sylvia! In Bence's hide I can take many interesting photos in 48 hours. Maybe I will post more of them in the following months.

What a symmetry, Erno! This is really a great photo. In our region we will see the black stork not so often - and he is a bit shy. This one is for the gallery! Posted: 07/10/2024 14:46:53
Thank you Peter. Bence Mate's hide is in the little fish pond, in nesting period birds are flying there for taking feed. With the one-way glass, you can take photos without disturbing them. Posted: 07/10/2024 15:17:00
Wow, what a beautiful and unique bird! This is a striking and artistic shot!! I agree with Peter, the symmetry is impressive. And a perfect soft background to complement it. Lovely colors and detail as well! Posted: 07/10/2024 23:00:41
Thank you, the bird was not standing perfectly symmetrically,but with 1x1 cropping I managed to create the illusion of symmetry. Posted: 07/27/2024 19:29:44
Beautiful shot! The symmetry is perfect and I like the beak perfectly in the middle of his legs. Great texture in the feathers and the iridescent colors are beautiful. Posted: 07/27/2024 00:21:06
Thank you, the dark feathers of male black storks have an iridescence to them in the light. Posted: 07/27/2024 19:38:39
