[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Loek van der Klugt (brother Janone) just send me an e-mail stating that this was a CANADIAN CRANE (as Janice already suspected) ...........................................This was one of those pictures I was not sure if I was going to upload, however when I read about Helen's Friday January 11th theme, I thought -why not-.
I can not tell you what kind of a bird this is, however I will upload a picture in WS to show you more of the bird.
I could not stay long to try more captures, because the boys only have so much patience with me and my camera. Here I used the macro function on my long lens - so I had to stand as far back as possible and try to "look" through the fence. - no crop only framing.

Have a nice day,
Els

Amazing bird's eye. Looks mesmerizing. Good work Els. Greetings! Danilo

Wow! An orange eye! I like the crop and focus, Els. Very fine details. The whitish sky is complemented by the unique border. I like it.

Hello Els,

With your macro function, you have captured some excellent details! The bird looks to be transfixed! What has he viewed! He looks to be horrified! This could be a great intro to a suspense movie!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

It is a great capture Els, I can’t imagine why you would have doubts. I just love the colours and the softness of the feathers. Add the rough textures of the beak, perfect!. Great job, I really like it.

Hallo Els
Prachtige opname, mooi van detail en kleur.
Gr Jos

Dus deze had bijna de boot gemist (niet geupload) ??!! Wat zou dat jammer geweest zijn, want ie is prachtig ! Zo dichtbij zie je ze normaal gesproken niet.
Wat een kleuren en details. Mooi hoor.
groeten,
Joop!

Mooie foto Els..

Great eye contact. I am even more impressed by the detail in the beak. TFS. K2

I missed this at the time Els, I don't know why. Excellent detail in the beak and around the eye and good natural colours. The tighte crop helps in emphasizing the eye,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Fog I’...the cold fogs don't affect me Els as long as I dress warmly. The moist ones can be uncomfortable but I tend not to stay out long in them.
