Storks

[Lava Lamp]

Here are a few more wood storks for your consideration. Please tell me what you think of each one and how you would improve it. Both taken with D70 and 75-300 lens.

Is there a way to mess with the contrast so that the stork's head in the first one stands out more from the background? Can't say I've ever seen many (or maybe any) shots of storks. How'd you come upon these?
