Side Lighting - Does this work?

Attachment 82579

Does the side lighting work in this shot? I like the pose this crane gave me.
Love to hear your opinion.

It works for me Troy. I like the raised left wing & the open beak. The pose suggests to me that the bird was startled. I think you handled the exposure very well.

What do they say? Shadows define. Personally I think this is a great image the shadows on the wing just pop. Well exposed, sharp, great background, eye contact!

Yes, I like it. The eye is well lit and the near wing catches the light nicely.
