Snowy Crane Pan Blur
Another from the snowy morning.......slowing the SS even more than in my previous post......experimented with many SS's to try to capture the mood.
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 300-800 @ 400mm for 1/60 and f11 at ISO 800 all mounted on tripod with wimberly head.
For me this one is either a little too blurred or not blurred enough Roman. I like a sharply focused visual 'anchor' or else even more blur than this image has. I do like the streaky snowflakes and the subdued colors.

I think it's an interesting composition and i like the subdued mood the colour palette invokes.
I like the blurriness but the highlights on the bird could be toned down a tad?
Not getting a clear eye shot distances me from the bird as well.
Roman...
I like this one better than the first one you posted.
To me, it's OOF enough so that it become more of an abstract and that's what I like about blurs...especially when there is snow in them.
Soft colors and light are perfect.
Roman, I like this one too. The soft color tones and the snow streaks make this nice.
Roman,
I like the streaks. A slightly better defined head would have been even more pleasing.

Roman, I like this too and the fact that you are doing the capture! For me, a hot drink by the fireside :).
Cheers, Jay

Looks like a fine piece of Art. Beautiful soft colors.
Love the visible streaked flakes on the primaries. Working at ISO 200 and 1/60 would have smoothed out the BKGR.... Good seeing you there.

Thanks all! Yes Artie this was Sunday.....snowed much more in White Sands....snowing today as I came back and much colder! Hope to see you on the 19th!
I did vary SS's for different looks....some eye/bill sharp.....some even more blurred.....I preferred the more blurry.
