This is really pretty Danny. It's such a wonderful pose from the crane, and the lighting is fantastic. Love the warm tones of the grasses in the background as well, great compliment to the bird. :toast:

Sweet light and nice wing position and eye contact, Danny. The eye looks just a bit soft to me-was this hand held?

Incredible indeed! A really great flight shot of the bird against the wonderful layered background! The head is a little soft, but I would hang this on my wall any day! :toast:
