Sandhill Cranes Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

This was shot from one of the decks on the farm loop Thanksgiving week.

After all Tony's SHCs it's kind of tough coming up with something nearly as good.

10D, 500/L IS, ISO 400 -1/3, Gitzo + BH1 + Sidekick

I never got that many without overlaps and sharp to boot. You impressed me. Very well done.

This shot would hold its own anywhere Jim!! Excellent separation and composition and I love the diagonals created by the birds in flight.

Well done!! 8) :)

Great separation and good sharpness, Jim. You sharpened the image after adding your copyright, which puts a halo around the text.

Thanks for your concern about me.
