Sandhill cranes @ Bosque del Apache

Indraneel, this is a fine one - if you are feeling a lack of magic you might try (if you're not opposed to photo manipulation) flipping the solitary bird horizontally?? I wonder how giving them a bit more room to fly into would look? I really like your work, you have a creative eye and the technical artistry to deliver your vision.

You are also a talented critic - giving an insightful "proof reading" to our imagery. Thanks a lot.

Thank you Michael for your kind words. Finding faults with excellent photographers like yourself, helps me to remember not to make the same mistakes myself when I'm out in the field! I tried a quick version of your suggestion, my first real pixel manipulation...
