Didn't know that Cranes could have different colored eyes, like in the human world, Jimbob. Like to agree with Milka. Think to see by their attitude that they have an appointment, lol.

Fine post again, mate.

Regards, Cornelius.

Very nice catch on the eyes and the hair/feathers - sort of like my hubby when he waits too long between haircuts! LOL

Is that like mademoiselle? I see one here along with a monsieur too. He has to be the one with the red eye. Probably stays up too late at night not wanting to mess up his fine hairdo. Quite a lovely pair, Jimbob. I like the fact that you have captured him so clearly, letting his significant other fuzz out just as they do in the animal kindom to protect the species.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

They make some awful sounds when they get excited. Nice shot of the pair Jimbob.

I notice the one crane is sporting a foofy hairdo. Love the detail on the feathers. Wonderful capture, Jim.

Nice "layering" in the DOF and great detail on the male in the foreground - of course the male is always the pretty or handsome one - it's pretty much that way every time. Oops - I'll be in trouble for that comment -;)

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. ~Rumi~

I have nightmares featuring that eye. Holy sh*t!! That is one freaky looking eyeball. The rest of the shot seems to be background, Jimbob. I'm not sure if Mother Nature played a nasty trick or bestowed a grand gift on this bird. Gives me the willies. If I'm ever in Toledo, I know where my first stop will be. That is one amazing zoo. Gloriously detailed shot of this French vampire.
