•  Support based on overall merits, but the bird does blend into the background a bit on the lower posterior. —Notyourbroom (talk) 17:28, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Meanwhile it's a synanthropic species, means that they survive in areas developed by man but usually you will find a stork close to a pond, hunting for frogs --Richard Bartz (talk) 01:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

• Weak  Oppose; a lovely, high-res image of a bird. it really does look like the stork only has one leg! :D but the background is distracting. the dof cutoff right behind the bird is a little jarring, & at max rez the patterning of the out-of-focus area is annoying, especially the grass areas right around the bird; the effect conflicts oddly with the feather patterning. it almost looks like glitching, but i think it's just an unfortunate pattern of the light. again, i'd give a technical acheivement award for the sharp hi-res of the bird, but the effect of the background spoils it as FP.
