Jerry, I agree with you. I really like the soft misty tones of this and the cranes are the icing on the cake. Their formation matches the hills and clouds fading into the distance.

It is refreshing to see a Bosque del Apache image that is predominantly blue instead of brown.

This is a nice grouping of cranes, each with good wing position and no overlaps.

Very nice, with blue paint instead of brown! I would be tempted to crop the RHS to the crown of the large hill. devil

I like the positioning of the cranes in this image. Nice color and detail. The simplicity makes this work.

I just love this quiet understated take on the cranes. Very different from the usual. Put it on the wall!

Best

I love this shot, Jerry! The simple background that still provides context, the soft, muted colors, nicely spaced formation of the Cranes and the contrasting sharp detail of the cranes; everything works perfectly together for an exceptional scene and capture! Very, very nice! devil
