Cranes on approach...

[Dan O'Leary]

It's been quite a while since I've been able to contribute and I really have missed BPN. Here's one to get me back in the loop. I hope you enjoy it.

What a great silhouette Dan! I love it. Especially the little nostrils showing the light through them. Great work!

[Fabs Forns]

Great subjects separation and colors and love the faint vignetting effect that helps keep the eye inside the image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great poses, silhouettes and BG. I don't mind that the birds already passed you in this case.

[Roger Clark]

Great image. It's not an easy one to get. You need the birds at the same distance so they are all in focus, and to have 3 spaced perfectly with nice poses doesn't happen too often. Well done.

Excellent positioning of the cranes in the frame
