    1/4000 sec; f/5.6; ISO 1000
    Manual; Matrix metering




    Post Processing:-
    =============================
    Raw Processing using C1P 20
    No Cropping. Added canvas at the bottom
    Nik 25-25 Filter on Bird at reduced opacity
    Selective Color, added few points in Blacks
    Tonal Adjustments in Viveza
    Neat Image NR
    Sharpening for Presentation
    No Cloning

    Krishna:

    Perfect angle in frame, full up wing position, complimentary background.

    Sharp, well exposed. Perhaps a tiny bit tight in the frame, but personal choice.

    Well done.

    I can see why you like this shot so much, great light, wing positioning spot on, sharpness a plenty. Like Randy, I would have personally like a bit more negative space, but when you time it as well as this it just puts a big smile on your face!

    Excellent work

    Mike

    Perfect BG and wing position.
    The BG colors compliment the crane perfectly.
    Exposure is excellent.
    Only think needed to make this a 10 out of 10 is a slight headturn our way.
    Excellent image Krishna!

    Oh man, you nailed this shot! While I agree that it's a touch too large in the frame, the pose, the light and the BG are nothing short of perfection! Awesome work, Krishna!
