Nice shot of this neat bird. I got a few shots of this bird up close like this. The first time I saw them I was amazed at their size. They fly over my home in migration making their weird squawk.

What a beautiful shot! The depth of field is perfect with absolute clarity of the crane. I love the mottled background and it's simplicity because there is no distraction from the crane's portrait.

A beautiful profile. The image is well composed and the colors are great. I like the glint in the eye and the way you can see through the bill.

Beautiful sandhill Crane Portrait , this shows the face of the Sandhill in great detail! Spot on focus, the image is clear, exposure is perfect, the colors and tones are natural. Well placed in the frame allowing room in direction he is looking. Beautiful clear eye ! Well presented!

Comment from Jo Calderbank


wow what a sharp image, lovely eye and beak capture,
the light is superb on the bird, deep natural colour, the crane stands out very well defined from the muted back ground, very well placed in the frame. taken with great camera skills. jo
