A foggy morning greeted our group as we headed toward the blinds at Rowe Sanctuary to watch the sandhill cranes last week. I was hoping to capture the cranes in a moody fog shot. I liked this composition and worked the image to create a b/w rendition that had the feel of an artist's etching. Thanks for looking and leaving a comment.

Rowe Sanctuary? Is that the one near Kearny, NE? Nice comp, but I would like to see it in color.

Really nice. The background trees "appearing" out of the fog and the airborne birds really make this image.
Good job!

Excellent! I like the 'ghostly' look of it and I am not a big fan of b&w usually. Very creative Wayne.

A great concept makes me feel the cold. How did you manage to get the cranes to face the right direction at each level?
This is just incredible, Wayne. One of my all time favorites of yours for sure. just so well-balanced and the mood so tranquil. Magnificent work, my friend.

Wayne, I have to echo what others have said. This is a very original concept. I like it!
