    Sandhill Crane Landing #2 – S.W Florida

    The opportunities to photograph these guys in flight are simply fantastic. This image was created Yesterday afternoon. This is my type of image, very little crop, amazing pose; tack sharp, clean BG, amazing light and great colors!

    Hope you like it!

    Thanks!

    Canon 40D, 500mm L @ f/5.6, 1/800 sec, ISO 400, Manual exposure, almost full frame.

    Another beaut from you Maxis. I would give him more space to land into though. Stunning light, and pin sharp. Well captured Maxis.

    Very cool pose, light and details. A bit tight in the frame for my taste, but it seems you like it this way. :)

    Perfect storm of lighting, wind direction, exposure, pose. I'm hoping Bosque provides similar opportunities this year!

    You've learned to speak Sandhill! Beautiful image Maxis... The pose... the detail... spot on. I too would like to see a bit more room at the bottom, but having said that... I hope I can bring one back home with me from Bosque next week that looks like this.

    Maxis this one is superb, I only wish for a little more room. The timming, light, action, sharpness... I love everything on this image. Big congratulations for such a fine image!
