I'm really thankful everyone who all reviews and suggested me on my previous thread related to Painted Stork. I have a created a new thread because i have discarded the color version. Hope you all will like this version.

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, frame, crops and processing.

Update #1 : added more highlights as suggested

Like the original better, would perhaps learn towards this version if highlights were enhanced. Nice processing.

I am with John...I like the original one better...I am not so much good at B/W. I still have to learn and understand many things about how it is made and what makes it beautiful to some and yet, not as much to others...like me. Sorry Raj.

Thank you for the update. I prefer the second one to the first one...now I am confused as to what I like best...the coloured one or this edited second version. I like it Raj...better.

Thanks for your valuable review and suggestion M glad my bw one confused you between the colored one ... means it is a strong image now.
