Sandhill Crane at Bosque
This Sandhill Crane shot was captured at the Crane pool north of the toll booth at Bosque Del Apache. One of many opportunities as part of Arthur Morris' IPT at this location while shots were rather sparse elsewhere in the Preserve. Shot with a Canon 1D Mark III and 400mm f/5.6 lens hand-held, ISO 320, f/5.6@1/2500sec. and no EC.
Hey Roger, Good to see you here. Love the image, especially the raised wings. There is a dust spot on the left edge where the legs are pointing. Could go a tad lighter overall and the eye and face could use some sharpening. Be right back.

Hi Again Roger, For the repost I lost the dust spot, sharpened the face, cropped a bit, and lightened the whole thing a bit. Your image was very small; you can post up to 200kb. Did you make a selection of the bird or the BKGR and do something?

Ok, I just wiped off my screen. I missed that dust spot completely. I thought it didn't need sharpening on the eye and face but after lightening and sharpening, as usual you are correct. Thanks.

When I reduced the image to the required pixels and saved the jpeg at Maximum, it showed 264Kb so I saved at High and it showed about 67Kb.
Beautiful flying pose and repost makes this even better
TFS
Lovely shot! The repost is an improvement.
Hi Roger, looks like you had a succesful time at Bosque! Nice loking image, and Artie's repost has made it even better. Keep it up!
Nice shot! The re-post really brings out the potential of this image.
Lovely wing position and HA, SH and EXP are good too, Artie's repost an improvement. TFS

Thanks again for dinner! As I said at the Stage Door Grill (great place!), the trick is to save for web, hit the little double right facing arrows above the word Optimized, click on Optimize to File Size, type 190 in the Desired File Size box, and then click OK.Originally Posted by Roger Dillon

Lovely wing position and the repost is an improvement in post processing. I'd say the original looks underexposed at 1/2500, but the detail is still very good.
