Cool shot. Very different from the usual crane shots.

A really fun and fascinating capture. You were ready and with that great morning light you really nailed it.

This is a cool image Sandy, the frozen water and foot placement gives the impression that the crane is walking on water. Nice lighting as well, great image!

Looks exactly like an Olympic speed skater. Nice one.

The bird actually looks like it's in a skating posture. Very cool, Sandy !
