This image was taken early February at the Akan Crane Center near Akan, Hokkaido, Japan. Very unfortunately they had not a lot of snow in general and certainly no fresh snow for awhile before I went there with a friend making the snow cover - shall we say - rather unattractive for photography. Of course, the last night before I had to leave Hokkaido it snowed just enough to cover up all the hideous stuff from the previous days. But I unfortunately couldn't stay till the feeding at 2 pm when those eagles show up as I had to go to the airport. Grrr...
I've tinkered around the past day with replacing the snow background in this image with one from the morning after it had snowed but it looks entirely artificial and my photoshop skills are not good enough - yet.
Well, hope you still enjoy the action. Best, JR
