Sandhill Cranes Brawl

Had a recent 3-day visit to Bosque del Apache, and just starting to go through my images.

This frame shows what happens when a conflict arises between two Sandhill Cranes...

Very Nicely Captured. Only minor think is the crane in the lower right.

Great action captured by the two upper birds.

I like the interaction between the two upper cranes, the lower ones not so much. a bit oversharpened and too much NR on my screen. nice frame TFS

[John Mack]

The interaction is great. Nice setting as well. The tow other cranes are what they are. But, hey that is nature for you.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent interaction. I actually like the two lower birds, but of course Murphy's Law has that one strand of vegetation cutting across the face of the one individual. I love the habitat. If you are into that type of editing, getting rid of the band is an option to explore.

Well caught, wonderful scene of these beautiful creatures.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments and feedback. Very much appreciate it...

I actually liked the two lower cranes too and felt they added to the scene by how they seemed to be observing and cheering on the fight, except, of course, for that unfortunate strand of vegetation that cuts right across the face of the lower right crane.

Thanks again...
