Sandhill Crane NR

If this wasn't too "fiddly" to achieve then I think it was well worth the effort and time. It looks so much better.  I love that warm light on the bird and the contrasting sky makes it stand out even more.  Even better with the reduced noise.

Nicely handled Dave!

I am frequently concerned that I might take the image from "reality" to "fantasy".  But this one did seem to clean up fairly well.  Thank you for the use of your eyes.
