The background lighting adds another dimension to this beautiful image. Such a handsome bird and a great capture of him too.

Mid-afternoon sun, Heather! It put a bit of a halo around the crane.

Nice closeup Harold, beautiful bird. I like how his coloration blends in with the field.

One of those birds that are hard to spot until they move! Thanks!
