Two for Take-off

I had the privilege of participating in Keith Bauer's Bosque del Apache workshop earlier this month. It was so much fun and I came home with some nice images. This is from the early morning fly-out on the first day of the workshop.

Nice job getting both of these cranes sharp and also in a clean BG. If mine, I might bring up the exposure a bit and add some contrast and saturation to make up for the flat light it looks like you had Sharon.

Sharon:
It was a pleasure meeting you and having you in our workshop. It was a lot of fun and you came away with many good images. I like the wing positions of these two cranes. Always great to see them at nearly full up and down strokes. Nice separation as well. I agree with Kurt that a touch more exposure might add to the image, and just a bit of vibrance.

Great stuff. Looking forward too more of your work from the Bosque.

Very nice, Sharron. I like the comp and wing positions of the birds. I was there at the same time and chatted a bit with Keith. Look forward to more from your trip.

Really nice Sharon. I love the wing positions of both birds. I agree with Kurt's assessment concerning exposure & contrast. Great shot!
