Overhead crane

A juvenile crane at Platte River from earlier this spring. It looked like it was separated from its parents and was calling for them, in the process flying quite low.

1D3/100-400@400mm, 1/3200s@F/6.3, ISO400, Handheld.

Larger version also presented.

Thanks for looking. :wavey:

First I thought it was a 'Concorde', but it was a Crane ( Sandhill ? ). I like your cropping and I don't mind the little under-exposure. Well done ! :smile:

I like the symmetry and the diagonal composition. The large version shows some noise in bird and I wonder if there is room for (additional) selective NR. Nice catch.

I too love the diagonals in this composition and I think it would work as a silhouette as well.
