A couple sandhill cranes are just down the road from me. They are going to take up residence in a grassy marsh. I'm glad to see them back . last year they had 2 young ones when I spotted them.

    Nice set. I love the last one especially with the background in focus and the foreground blurred. It's a nice change of pace. thumb.gif

    Very nice set DB, I love sandhills. They are all over my development and we have a set with two youngsters walking around here.

    The chicks are a lot of fun to shoot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Well...for some reason, I almost missed these.

    That last shot is cool as hell. The background and OOF crane work perfectly to draw your attention to the crane in focus. The colors are excellent.
