very cool, Simon. Interesting to compare with our Sandhill Crane, as Luke mentions. Must be fairly closely related. Very nice pose, comp, exposure and details. setting looks appealing as well. this looks good all around.

A very graceful looking pose Simon. Love the colors, background, sharpness and detail. The head angle works very well and shows the red on the head off very nicely.
