Whooping Crane

Gallery: AvianPosted September 4, 2017175 views4 comments

Another Whooping Crane from this past spring. I really liked the pose and head turn in this one, so I thought I'd make you suffer through one more.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, hand held, f/8, 1/2500, iso 640, manual exposure. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 10.7 MP before resizing. Taken at 6:18 pm on March 24th, 2017.

Your critiques are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Dennis
The Crane looks like he is trying to get by you. Nice detail and white control.

Real nice light and composition. I also like the pose and head turn. Now that I've seen a fair number of images from your trip to Texas, it appears that it was well worth your time.
