Please Don't Eat the Daisies

[Bill Dix]

In Harn's Marsh the other day, two Sandhill Cranes flew in and proceeded to graze atop a low dike. By going around to the far side of the dike we got nice eye-level views of them. The only problem was that I would have liked to take a few steps further back, but that would have landed me in the canal. As it was, I had to add some canvas to the left and top and might have preferred a bit more space around this lovely bird.

Bill, beautiful shot, great detail, BG is nice and I like how the foreground just stops abruptly.
You're dating yourself a bit with the title and so am I by recognizing it from the tv show

Very nicely captured, Bill. I especially like the raised back of head, upper and lower neck feathers. Great feather detail and excellent BG.
