1/400s at f/4, ISO 400, D300 with 400/2.8 + 1.4x

Great action pose. The morning blue gives it the appropriate cold feel.

Very nice (looks like the crane is trying to imitate a roadrunner). The splash of the left foot provides a nice sense of speed/motion.

That's a great shot Bill. Nice action, sharp bird and blurred background. Well done.

[corralup]

Excellent as well as your other goose and crane shots. I'm enjoying your photos.

The color scheme really works and the birds in the background complete the picture very well.

Good stuff Bill. I like the lowered neck and head. It's getting aero-dynamic.

[billbunton]

Thanks guys! I just wish I'd done a slightly better job of framing, and not cut off the wingtip.

I love seeing this kind of work!

Oh this is neat! Beautiful capture!
