Very nice light on this one Jone. I like the muted reflection as well. The OOF grasses just say Bosque Del Apache to me!

I like the POV & framing, great light & colors John.
I especially like the action, with the cranes wings forward pose as it 'runs' across the water.
Well done & Merry Christmas!
