Bosque Crane Blur

[Joerg Rockenberger]

It was the first time that I tried blurs while at Bosque over Thanksgiving last year. Curious as for the comments.

Thanks in advance. JR

I like the idea of blur, but this one seems too blurry. Perhaps a bit of contrast would help? Do you have any more with a slightly higher ss?

I like the effect you achieved on the wing tips. I only wish the face (eye and bill) was more outlined like them. As an idea you may want to crop out the brown band above - this would make the image similarly toned throughout. Excellent sense of motion...

Thank you both for taking the time to comment. Yes, I like the wings too. Not quite sure though how that came about as it almost looks like as if flash was used. Except I didn't.
