Common crane

[Tomas Calle]

Hi I took this picture of cranes fighting at Gallocanta, Spain.
Critiques and advice will be welcome.

Warm greetings.

1D Mark III, EF 500mm f/4 L IS USM, f/7.1, 1/800 sec, -1/3 exp comp, ISO 100, tripod, hide

Lovely interaction and action, BG and light.
I would love seeing the tip of the left wing of the crane facing as. excellent details on that wing as well.

A little different look and an interesting action shot.
I like the focus on the far bird.
I wonder if bumping the ISO would have provided enough dof to get both birds in focus.
Very impressive looking birds.

Tomás I like the timming a lot and the fantastic eye contact of the far bird. Composition works for me and the only think I would like for this image is a less contrasting light. Buen trabajo, uno de estos días tengo que hacer una escapada a Gallocanta :)

Neat interaction! I agree the image looks quite contrasty, I'm sure a reverse S-curve would help with that. I'd also reduce the blue satut=artion as I find it kinda strong in the shadow areas. Bumping the ISO is certainly a good thing to do when photographing action;).
