Description

I got this guy flying by at a nearby wildlife refuge a while back and experimented with its look in B&W. I like it this way better than the color version.

Specific Feedback

Cropping? Opinion of the B&W look?

Very nice, Dave. I like the black and white presentation. Detail and wing position look good. It does look like there’s some kind of weird cloning artifact on the upper beak.

On blowing it up, I see what you’re talking about. I might just have fix that. Thanks. Good eye.

Hi Dave, nice catch of this crane with pleasing wing position and an angle coming toward us. Repost is much improved. Well done.
