This image was taken at the large crane pool in the morning. I thought i'd try something different and include the oof cranes in the BG. There are groupings of cranes and as they fly out in the morning, the group position constantly changes and thins out. Cranes will lean into the wind for many seconds and others may also join the leaning pose. On the left bottom there is a bit of that going on in the frame. and just as you have your sights on the bird with the most lean, another nearby crane may start the crouch and jump to fly and you fire away, often capturing something that wasn't your calculated intent at all... There are very few opportunities for a crane to be photographed without another crane or many cranes/geese competing for pixels... While at Bosque I started looking for groupings of cranes, oof cranes, and would try to shoot and take advantage of the habitat. Granted you can fill your card with a crane against a blue sky but thats a "snoozer" for me. I like the overall softness and also the side oof flying crane that is inching ahead. Tell me what you think about these oof cranes, well all but one.
