Sandhill Crane

It was a pleasure meeting Keith at Bosque del Apache, along with several other members, during a workshop there. I was quite impressed with his teaching manner and knowledge. What an amazing place! I liked this image because of the way the wings fit into the dip of the mountains.

Hi Sharon, I was wondering when you were going to post something. I really like the large version, good sharpness and feather detail in nice light. Lovely wing position and neat high key effect.

Hi Sharon: Great Bosque Image. These are the kinds of images that really say something about shooting at the refuge. I too like the position of the crane in the dip of the mountains.

It was great getting to meet you there as well. I'm really glad you enjoyed the workshop and visiting Bosque Del Apache. Hopefully it won't be your last visit to the Land of Enchantment!!

Looking forward to seeing more of your images from the Bosque.

Sharon, the crane fits into that dip in the hills perfectly. Great timing.

Nice sharp flight shot of the crane. The mountains make a nice BG.

Nice job, Sharon. I do like the way the wings fit into the notch in the hills.

Beauty Sharon - love the dip in the background to 'cradle' the bird
