Marabou Stork at Sunrise

I was out early to show the park to some friends when the sun rose, casting a wonderful light over Lake Nakuru. The marabou stork just ambled by, in the light. I used the manual setting on the camera, underexposing my shot in order to get a silhouette effect and warmer colours. I also like the blurred pelican in the background.
