Late evening shot at Bosque when there with a buddy (Bob Ettinger) the 1st week in December. This was a few days after I got my D3 and was giving it a test trying various AF settings and ISO's. Fun camera, fun place and good company, it was my first time at Bosque.
Nikon D3, 500mm AF-S, x1.4, ISO 1600, f5.6, 1/640, Gitzo 3530LSV, Wimberley II Head
Great colors in the sky. It's too bad the third bird didn't have the same exact wing position as the other two, but it's still a killer image with the light in here.

The colors are....well Bosque terrific. The formation is great but I like the sharpness of the cranes against that beautiful sky. The D3 seems to be doing an excellent job!!!
Very nice silhouette, George! I like the colors in the sky and patterns of the clouds. I also like the composition with the birds placed perfectly in the frame.
