    I posted the downwing pose of this guy before.
    I thought this one is worth to have a look as well.
    The mountains in the background is the view you have from the road side pond at Bosuque.
    Thanks for looking.

    Nice job Karl - very sharp, wonderful light. I like the wing position and the nice detail under the wing. I might wish for a little more room above. Great capture.

    I like the wing pose and the mountains in the BG. The wings appear to have a purple/magenta cast but it could be the way the sunlight was. I like the composition but a bit more room on top would be nice. Good IQ,
    Gail

    Karl:

    I like the steep climbing out pose, slight bank towards us, the mountains 'grounding' the image. I agree about a sliver more room to climb into.

    I could see a version with the color temp a bit warmer, which would help with the slight cast mentioned by Gail.

    Purely as a compositional exercise, I did a version with the crane flipped horizontally , so that the mass of the bird was better balanced by the mass of the mountains, I rather liked it. I am always tinkering with comp, since it isn't something that comes naturally to me.

    Really nice one Karl!

    Cheers

    Thanks, Ron, Randy and Gail. I'll keep in mind your thoughts regarding composition and colour cast for next time.

    Beautiful image. Just love the light, excellent flight pose and angle. Love the background and a tad more room above would be nice. Either way, stunning pic.
    Well done.
