Bosque in Action
Here are a few more shots from my Bosque trip. I am finally making a dent in the processing.

I like all of these Kurt
Wish that place wasn't 1000 miles away
I like the use of early or late light. I find exposure hard during those hours, having one half the animal bright and the other dark. You don't seem to have this problem.

Kurt these are all exceptional, really. The take off is pretty unique looking, though it makes the crane look strangely graceful in a goofy sorta way-- which is pretty cool.

All of these are damn good, my faves are #1 and #6. Those tones in 6 are warmed to perfection and I like the blues and the background clouds in 1.

Great series. Since I can't make it to Bosque, I'm living vicariously through you guys who did! Thanks!

Awesome series...Great detail...great light...great everything.
Like #1 the most, but all are excellent.

Rohn, the majority of the Sandhill Cranes at the Bosque wind up in Greys Lake Idaho. That ought to
be a lot closer to you.

Kurt- You really captured the detail in # 1! Great Job on all. Will be down in Bosque next week.

Another beautiful presentation of photos Kurt. My favorite is #1, I love the diverse blue tones of the background. I also like the coming-at-you angle of #5, it's a little different from the side shots we normally see. Well done!
