An absolutely beautiful sandhill crane photo Sandy :eek: You captured the perfect flight symmetry in very nice light and both cranes are very sharp. The background is perfectly complimentary.

Excellent Work!

Wonderful to get such nicely synchronized wing positions, Sandy. A beautiful bg and a nice composition as well.

Nicely done, Sandy - a strong image with both birds sharp, eye-catching matching wing positions and a pleasing setting in flight.
