- Lovely shot of sandhill crane in flight.The blurred birds below don't add much so crop tighter for a home run.
- There is good lighting on the San Hill Crane and it is sharp and properly exposed. The background is sufficiently out of focus to form a pleasing blur. Judging from tht title, the makerl included the San Hill Cranes in the lower portion to add interest to the image and complete the nature story. In this image, I think it works well.
- Needs technical improvement
- This is such a super catch ! The warm background is a perfect blend, plus the inclusion of the birds below & pin sharp detail in the bird make it a treasured photo.
