Canon 7D, 600mm, f/7.1, 1/1250, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

Gorgeous light. Excellent pose. Perfect exposure. What I like about this picture is those 2 little feathers on the far wing which are a bit out of place. It adds something really special here.

Doug, you just keep turning these out. Excellent exposure, sharp, and I like wing positions. Good placement in the frame too. Another great image from you . Congrats.

Well, what can I say...everything looks great - from exposure, to sharpness, to comp, and pose.

Yup! Ditto the above. You're getting way too good at these hand-held BIF images, Doug. :)

Master of BIF....this image is an example of how to do what you do so good. Agree all positive comments above. Well done.

Awesome Doug!I love the wing position it sure is a beautiful bird perfect exposure and sharpness. BTW have a good trip.

Thanks guys! I tried to focus on geese that morning rather than cranes.
