My first trip to Bosque--and I guess my first post from there must be a crane!:)
What an absolutely marvelous place!
It was fun meeting a few BPN members there!

bonnie spot on expo and nice freeze. good light too. i am not sure but i feel the brown patch on bottom land are can be an easy fix which is little distracting for the frame.

Wow, the exposure and sharpness is spot on with wing position upward. The BKGR gives a feeling of large mountain landscape and it works great for me. Congrats!!

Aside from some minor noise in the sky, this one is just about perfect. I'm glad you enjoyed Bosque.

Very nice shot. I like the wing position and the capture detail.
I would increase the exposure/brightness a bit though (but this would blow out the white patch on the face).

Bonnie, Beautiful flight shot w/ great sharpness and details. I love the color tones.

Sharp, nice wing position. I am surprised by the noise in the sky; was this dark to start with? Bad luck with the one messed up primary feather. I like the grey and white of the BKGR but not the brown at the bottom.

You should get there in a good year!

Excellent Bosque Crane image Bonnie! Perfect wing position, eye contact, and sharpness. No shadows on the wing. Nice BG (can't see any noise on my laptop). Sorry we didn't get to meet up.
