A reasonable image of the crane. A bit past you when the image was captured. No larger image to really evaluate details.
Looks like a typo on shutter speed, I'm certain this was not 1/10.

Still curious about the question I posed on the buzzard and hummingbird about them being composites.

Hi Ry
Nice control of the whites and good detail. I would like to see a larger photo.

A nice catch of the Whooping Crane and always a wonderful bird to photograph or see, Ry. It looks like he was a bit past you and for flight shots it's nice to get them coming at you slightly, though it's not always possible. You didn't post a larger image for this one, but it looks like the upper wing surface and neck might be blown a bit. If you're saving your files in-camera in the RAW format, you might be able to recover those areas and get some more detail.
