The ISO was elevated to increase shutter speed as this Sandhill Crane departed from a Florida marsh, to begin a new day of foraging. I especially like the eye contact with this bird, the wing positions and the feathers on its beak.
Any noise was removed by Topaz DeNoise, and some small distracting white clouds were eliminated using Photoshop CS3.
All C&C are welcome!
