The fog was pretty thick, but as the sun began to glow and the fog thin out a bit the cranes got ready to leave. I was lucky enough to still be there for this shot....stretching before takeoff....

Nikon D100, Besty (Sigma 300-800) 440mm, 1/400@F5.6, ISO400, full frame

Cheers,

This really captures that early morning mood when the cranes start to get active. I can count about 2 dozen cranes in this shot. The well placed star character with the wing stretch is excellent. Wonderful balance of fog and light. Great image!

Very, Very nice capture. The fog gives a quality of realism to the image. I like it.

This is really nice! The light has a lovely quality to it and the birds pose and the composition are terrific. Well done.

I like this image alot. In particular I like the "layers" of cranes, starting with the in-focus cranes in the foreground and ending with the "foggy" cranes in the background.

Well done, especially the poser with its wings up. Looks like this is slightly tilted a bit.
