The image focuses on a wild close-up of a Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus), a typical large wild bird. This old bird has a tall stature: sparse feathers on its head reveal pale pink skin; its neck is tinted bright yellow with red streaks; its long beak is slender and sharp, with a light gray base interspersed with pinkish-white patterns. Its wings are covered with dark gray to nearly black feathers, while its belly and legs are white. Its slender gray legs stand on green grass by the water, where scattered small yellow flowers dot the blades. The background features clear water and dense green vegetation, with bright sunlight creating a fresh wild atmosphere. The old bird has a calm posture, tilting its head slightly as if observing movements around it. The composition focuses on the subject, with a blurred background that accentuates its outline. Vibrant and harmonious colors vividly restore the true state of this giant wild bird in the wild, offering a visual experience that brings people close to nature.
