Interesting shot! You can see this crane in detail, the smallest plumage, you caught it in a very interesting pose, it adds dynamics and liveliness to your photo, congratulations!

Nieves, the details on this shot are excellent. It is not everyday that you see a sandhill crane counting its toes. The red mask and orange eye are so cool. Very enjoyable. Ray

Hi Nieves, this image of "Grooming Time" is different and a bit funny :-) good focus especially on the eye. Good texture and clarity with good composition. Thanks for sharing :-)

What a great shot Nieves ! Almost looks like this crane is taking a moment to think about something. I love the pose! The lighting is perfect as well as the focus . The shot has great story telling attributes too. This was a joy to view! Nice job! Enjoy your six stars! :o) Nancy

    Thank you so much for this inspiring rating and review, Brian. This really made my day. Sange, is greatly missed. Wished that they are still here.
reply by suffolkbrian on 30-Jul-2024
    you are welcome,the reason i mentioned sange was she taught me to be more select when taking zoo photos and watching animal behavior before taking photos,and yes along with others that were on here they are missed
