    Simply stunning!
    Love the IQ and the BG and the perfect HA.
    Very pretty bird with the red eye and white crest.
    Composition is excellent as well.

    I see a little dust spot at the RH edge about a third of the way down.

    Ofer,

    What a beautiful bird, never seen one but at least I have heard of it.

    Great capture, I presume the dust spot has now been removed?

    Just sensational in every way. The lines, the detail, the colors. Bird portraiture at its very best.

    Hi Ofer, I feel you have cropped this perfectly, and the overall exposure on the crane is just as perfect. Tack sharp, good use of aperture, and a killer BG to round the image off. What is the BG?

    Hi Ofer,

    Very impressive capture. Love the light, BG, IQ, HA and most beautiful red eye of bird.

    pretty bird and nice image of it. Do like the textur in the whites and the black sooty colour of the neck feathers.
