Very nice light and wing position Karl. I love the composition here with the land included in the bottom.

Beautiful colors and wing position. The inclusion of the mountains really makes this shot special. Is the beige area above the red mountains more OOF mountains?

Awesome light, pose, comp. That beige area Gail refers too extends swoopingly like a semi-circle below and to the front of the crane - likely a processing artefact. Fixing that and you have a top notch image!

Thanks Daniel, thank you guys.
I was trying to get rid of part of this grayish layer close to the bottom but I guess I did not do a good enough job. Now I got rid of more. I cannot rid of all as it would look unnatural.

I like the lighting, composition and setting. Well done Karl!

[Doug Brown]

Very nice sunrise Crane shot! Like the downstroke of the wings and the great color. I might selectively lighten the bird a little.

[Robert Holguin]

This a very wonderful image. Love the flight pose of the crane, excellent background, and composed real well.
Well done Karl.
