Sandhills in the Fog

From my November trip to the Bosque. The unexpected morning fog made for a bust most of the time at the crane pools, but this is another one I was able to get with the foggy surroundings. Larger image included.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 Wimberley I, ISO 400 1/1600 f6.3 0.0EV

Really nice capture.The background is good and it is very sharp. I like the slightly different wing positions.

The fog makes for some soft light and a nice background. The cranes stand out well against it. I too like their almost identical poses and the catch light on both their eyes.

Very sharp and I like the subtle increase in warmth of the BG. The two birds complement wonderfully. :toast:

Wonderful timing to get the wing position and the background really adds to the image, way to go.
