The crane really leaps out of the BG. Very cool. Wishing you a successful and healthy new year!

Keith,
Fantastic light. Love the wing up position and the light hitting the whole bird. The red around the head is well lit as well. As was already mentioned the crane just leaps off the page against that shadowed background. Not sure what the thing is about half way up the legs. Might be a feather or something.
Happy New Year to you as well Keith. May the new year bring you awesome light and incredible opportunities.

Ahh... Should have mentioned. That is the famous Ice Bracelets the cranes get when the weather is cold enough to form ice around their legs before they lift off from the ponds.
