Sandhill Crane

[RSL]

I was looking through my Lightroom catalogue again and ran across this guy. As near as I can tell from my records I haven't posted him, though I have to admit I'm not sure. In any case this picture illustrates the fact that even if you're there with a camera, if the camera's not at the ready you're out of luck. The crane held that pose for just about a full second. Fortunately the camera was in my hand.

Nice pose, Russ. Crisply focussed, too. I'm pretty sure you've not posted it before: I think I'd have remembered.

Yes, it is a memorable image. A great use of a visual second.

[BobDavid]

I like it, Russ. Sandhill Cranes are fascinating, especially during courtship.

[Richowens]

Damn Russ, that is beautiful.

It was worth finding and I don't remember seeing it before. A fine image.

Damn Russ, that is beautiful.

+1. Beautiful textures in the feathers.

Wonderful image Russ, I love the expression of the crane

[RSL]

Thanks all. That picture illustrates HCB's dictum once again: "It's luck that matters. You just have to be receptive. That's all."

It surely is.
