Outstanding color and details in the bird's wing! That's a great shot, David!

That vivid color shows off the almost monochromatic bird perfectly! Especially nice to see the eye so sharp. Exposure is excellent. A real winner, David! :toast:

What they said! I really wish i had patience for birds, these guys are really my favorite, so regal!

Really beautiful! The out-of-focus edges give it a painterly or dreamlike feel. I like the pose you captured, provides a good view of the bird, but he's doing something more interesting than in many classic crane poses. Feels very candid.
