Sandhill Cranes

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

This image was taken at Bosque Del Apache earlier in the Year.

I like the diagonal cloud and the colors, I hoped for some cranes to fly by and was lucky to capture the same.

Looking at the histogram, I wish I had got better exposure.

Nikon D500, 24-120 f/4 shot at 62mm (93 FF Equivalent)
ISO 800, f/4, 1/500 sec
Manual Mode, Matrix Metering

Uncropped image, Noise Reduction with Neat Image
Exposure changes, Added a bit warmth to the clouds
Nik 30-30 on clouds

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks
Krishna

Good concept here. Wish the birds were all slightly higher in the frame.

I love this a lot more than I thought I would, very cool! I agree with more room below, but the sky is quite fantastic - good call adding warmth to it.

Thank you all for the comments. I agree I wish the birds are a bit higher in the frame

Somewhat different, and it works for me. Repost helps. Thanks for sharing it.
