Common crane
Just getting around to processing some cranes from last spring and this was one of a series that struck a chord. I suspect it might not with many!
It was around 5am and the cranes were flying into their feeding grounds in near darkness which necessitated VERY slow shutter speeds.

Canon 1dII, 500mm lens. ISO400 f4@ 1/2 sec.

Hmmmm. Each to their own. Have to say it does nothing for me.

There is something about this that doesn't quite hit the spot for me and I can't figure out what it is. Normally I love these impressionistic images. I do like the symmetry and defined primary feathers though. It's a shame we don't see more of these types of image published in the UK. Seems to be more of a European thing or perhaps Nat Geo.

Cheers

Something different :smile:
I like the idea but just feel it needs something else.. whether that's another colour or a point to orient yourself with in the image I'm not sure
