Bosque
Had a great time in Bosque. Amazing place. Great place to awaken your creative spirit. Thanks for looking. Some of the cranes were flying so close, thought I would try for a flight portrait.

#2 is my favorite, great example of organized chaos.

#1 is my favorite. There is no where else to look but at the Crane. Great Shot!

All nice, Dan, but I especially love Blastoff. Can almost hear all those wings! I'm glad to hear conditions are better than feared down there, hope I can drop in sometime this winter.

As Morris would say, "Oh Mommy"! What a nice collection here Dan. I love them all but lean toward 1 first, then 3.

Hey Dan- Looks like you and Kurt had a very productive time. Great images!

Excellent again, but the close-up of #1 grabs me most. The crop makes it interesting.

I am a big fan of your work, Dan. My favorite here is #2 but the sharpness and clarity of these flying images is truly exceptional. :toast:

Great stuff Dan. Love the intimate feel of the portray shot and the light in #3 is terrific! I have so many shpts to still go through....feeling a bit overwhelmed by it.

I've only been to the Bosque once but I don't think you can ever forget the noise level and visuals at Blast Off. #1 is terrific but I lean towards the Blast Off image. Stellar work as usual, Dan.

Beautiful series Dan. Really like #1 and #3.

Awesome bunch of images Dan. My favorite is definitely #2, it reminds me of those "seeing eye" 3D illustrations that were popular a few years ago. #2 is different than the portrait-style images of the cranes or geese we're used to seeing from Bosque and I think that's a refreshing thing. I also like #1, the closeup treatment of the crane works for me and is also different from the usual style of photos.
