Sunset Silouette of a Sand Hill Crane

kdog

I was birding over the weekend in chilly NM, and got this one shot of a Sand Hill Crane at sunset. I thought it was a "cool" shot more than a wildlife shot, so I'm posting it here. Full-frame shot, btw, at 700mm. :wink

Wow! That is a wall-hanger if I have ever seen one!

Well, thank you very much, Wendell. When I first looked at this photo, I thought, "wow". But when I showed it to my wife, she wasn't overly impressed. She said the bird looked a bit "ruffled". :giggle

Anyway, it's nice to get some confirmation that it's a good shot. I may have to try printing it. Thanks!

Maybe I like the ruffled look because I am a pilot, and this shows how flying is not something that is done wtihout it's fair share of "ruffled" feathers!
