Nice Ending!

[Arthur Morris]

This Sandhill Cranes in pool at sunset image was created with the hand held Canon 24-105mm L IS lens (at 24mm) with the EOS-5D Mark III. ISO 640. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1/80 sec. at f/5.6.
From our last evening at Bosque this year. Click here (http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2013/12/03/a-fitting-endingshort-zoom-lens-tips/) for to see the tighter image that I created after this one and an image of the boys and girls photographing the scene.

Don't be shy; all comments are welcome.

I love the colors of this image and the designs in the sky. There is a bit too much FG for my taste and I am seeing some aberration in the upper corners.

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks Marina. I think that I forgot to correct the vignetting; I believe that that is what you are referring to. It was a great way to finish a wonderful two weeks.

The light and colors are fantastic. Like the nice composition and the black details (birds, grass, mountain, ...) . Fantastic image.

[Bill Dix]

Super colors. What a wonderful scene. I don't know if all of the foreground adds much to it, as Marina noted; but it does help to put the line of mountains near the 1/3 point for a very pleasing comp, so I'd leave it as is.

Wow you captured so many colours there Arthur Bhai, i just like the palette of colours you have here
composition is fantastic, great choice of keep that much sky in the frame.

Arthur don't think I'm qualified to comment on the technical bits of your image but I do like the whole scene with it's fantastic colours.

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks all. From where I sit the foreground grasses balance the composition perfectly :).

Arthur Sir,
Very sweet landscape/ crane scape with magical colors.Love it. I like the OP than tight crop, though it has it's own beauty.

Satish.
