While I know the wingtip is cropped I still like this crane image with the snow-capped peaks in the background. A larger version is on my site, www.OzarksPhotos.com

Nikon D3S, 400mmVR, 1/1600th, 2500 ISO

Sandhill cranes have quickly become a favorite avian specie of mine. I have to get myself to them at some time in the near future. The wing tip is minor, still a great shot Larry!

to bad about the clipped wings, the eye contact and detail are nice and good light

Beautiful Larry and like you said I love the background also.

Well captured having visited Bosque late February I too enjoyed the Sandhill Cranes they make a great subject.

I gotta get me one of those!

Robert O'Toole has a neat method for fixing clipped wings. Files available on Arthur Morris' website.
