I've been wanting a good close up of a crowned crane. What do you think? Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay.

Such an colourful bird Charlie
Looks like it's just come out of the beauticians too, a well captured shot.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

Wonderful telephoto shot, Charlie. When I saw these birds at a zoo this summer, they were behind glass. I am glad you were able to get this close to these regal birds.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Now that is one fantastic head capture. And what a crown. Love those cheek colors and that gorgeous eye.

I think you've got everything you could hope for.
This is a very good study of this bizarre but magnificent bird!
