    Default U turn

    Luckily I did not have a 1.4X on my 500 to frame this crane doing a banking u-turn right in front me in early morning light. Taken a couple of weeks ago at the North Crane Pool at Bosque.

    Thanks for looking, critiques welcome.

    Nikon D300, Nikkor 500mm f/4G, 1/800 @ F4
    ISO: 400, Mongoose M3.5a, Gitzo.

    Fabulous. Don;t you just love those rare occasions when every undersides feather is perfectly lit? Wingspread, EXP, and SH are all perfect.

    Ditto Artie's comments. Lovely light and detail - open bill and eye contact adds to it

    Outstanding in all respects, Robert. If I was hard pressed to come up with a comment, I might suggest just a bit more room at the top.

    Excellent! Love the open beak, pose, beautiful light and detail underneath the wings. The composition is pretty good as well :D;) A beauty!
