Chaotic landing

[dankearl]

Even though the Cranes were not overwhelming in numbers at Bosque last week,
They still seem to want to share the same space.

Real nice landing shot. I really like the the warm light and that we can see part of their habitat. Great wing position on both, the only thing I wish the beak of the rear bird wasn't being covered by the front crane. Still a great though.
Well done.

Beautiful landing shot, and I love the habitat. Great light, wing positions. Agree with Robert that the only thing hurting this is the hidden bill tip; but I'd be very pleased with this. At first glance I thought it needed some CCW rotation, but studying the oof reflections, it seems about right.

Nice light and sharpness. Wish the birds were not merged.

Very nice light and environment Dan. Nice sharpness too.
I have to make it to the Bosque some time.

Dan, I like the DOF...good enough to cover both birds and still nice BG separation. well done.

Bosque is one of my favorites place to visit and you've captured a classis shot here with the pair of S.H. landing. I think the crop, composition of this shot is very good, obviously you had some sweet light, you PP brought the details and colors without over doing it. Very good work.

Agree with separation of birds and CCW rotation. The light is beautiful as is the placement of the birds in the frame. I also like the reversed wing position of the birds.
