Troy, you hit a home run here. Great bird and great background. Crane is utterly sharp with nice raised wings.
Nicely done. Like the raised wings and the sharpness. I like that there is a shadow on the mountain to go with the shadow on the bird....
Troy, is there an active corn field right now, one where they are knocking down rows of corn??? If yes, can you tell me exactly which one please?

Thanks Troy but I am a bit confused :) The only field that I remember with corn is the one right at the spot where you turn left off the East Farm Loop Road, the long straight one that leads to the farm fields. If they start knocking corn down there tomorrow, please let me know. Thanks.

If you are talking about right at the sharp turn, no they are not cutting those yet.
They are still at the one next to the green fields separated by the trees. I will be there in the morning and Tuesday morning before I leave for the airport. Will let you know if they do.
Nicely done Troy! Love the light!

Troy, looks great indeed. The mountain really adds to this image so great job including that element.
Cheers,

That's what I figured but there is no corn this year "right at the farm deck." There is a big field right of the farm deck.
