Crane

[Alfred Forns]

One of our local cranes from Crandon Gardens. This crane and its mate started a nest but the egg did not hatch, was their first try. Hoping for better luck next year.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Love the symmetry Al! And of course the piercing stare.

Love the looks. The crop accentuates the looks.

Beautiful image...but I feel it needs just a touch of rotation to even out the eyes. Everything else...superb!

Hi Al,
I wouldn't like to mess with this fellow!!! Beautiful image.

Awesome pose, Al. Only comment that I have is I wish the bill had more sharpness or was darker to improve contrast with breast
