Sand Hill Crane and hatchling...

[Joseph Przybyla]

My previous thread showed a Sand Hill Crane turning the eggs. This thread shows the first hatchling on the first day. The adult is still sitting on the second egg.

Very very nice.
Perfect BG. If possible I would like an horizontal flip and then more pace on the right ...where mother and son are watching
Well done

Not a bad looking pair. If it were mine, I think I would crop some from the bottom and add a little on top if you have it. This is really cute!

Hello Gio, thank you for viewing and commenting. I have another cropped as you suggested.

Hello Marina, thank you for viewing and commenting. I have room to crop as you suggested. I will take a look and compare both.

Magnificent image. I like the mom and chick in green vegetation.

Very nice image. Just curious as to why you used f/16.
