UV, that's an African Shoebill Stork. We have those around our lunch pond at Wild Animal Park. You did a great job in Photoshop lighting. Makes it look like a studio shot...

He does look proud, but WHAT is he?! Great capture of this Shoebilled Stork? (That's what Dominick called it - I never would've guessed it on my own!) Like others said, another winner and another one for the book!
