Sand Hill Cranes Resting

Wilcox, Arizona is one of the many wintering spots for cranes. Usually in the fields midday but, this group taking a break.I liked the reflection and the hills in the background. Not sure I would have taken the picture without the cranes.

That is a pretty spot Charlie and a pretty picture. I like how you have centered the reflection over the island. Nicely done. if mine I might crop in from the right to remove that shoreline and leaving about same amount of water between shore and island on both sides. You may have to do a bit of clean up afterwards. Nice warm colors through out the photo.

A beautiful scene, Charlie. I agree with David on cropping from the sides and you could take a fair amount off the bottom to keep a reasonable aspect ratio.


OK. Cropped as suggested. Thanks.

The crop looks excellent, Charlie. Nice work.
