A shoebill stork stands in blue water with marsh reeds and cattails, depicted in a stained glass Art Nouveau style.

Very realistic stained glass Tiffany style, authentic organic Art Nouveau look of a Shoebill stork (Balaeniceps rex), centered composition with a large clear border space around the animal. The Shoebill must be accurately recognizable, showing its massive shoe-shaped bill with vertical ridges, tall heron-like body, long legs adapted for wading, broad bluish gray wings with layered feathers, slightly shaggy crest on the back of the head, and stern, forward-facing gaze. Prefer a lateral view for clarity. Curving black lead lines with thick outlines inside and outside the central subject, rich gradients of #A3D9D9 to #38778C, soft highlights, translucent glass effect. Background: blue environment evocative of water with flowing, asymmetrical patterns suggesting marsh reeds and rippling surfaces, naturalistic shapes, subtle aquatic floral hints, glowing light through stained glass, harmonious and elegant.
