"C" Crane

The "C" stands for the contest theme, which I can't pronounce or spell. LOL. This is actually a Gray Crowned Crane at the African Safari park in Port Clinton, Ohio. A little bit of Orton applied.

Thanks for the comments.

That's a real beauty Jim, I love what you've done with it and I love these birds. It's really very artistic and the way you've turned it into a diagonal across the frame makes for a really good composition. I think you've done some orton on it which has taken out a bit of the detail but even at the largest size it looks good. Masterful work Jim and good luck in the contest.

Ha ha! You are so funny Jim. You are probably thinking what the rest are struggling with too. I dont know who thinks of these names, but have serious doubts about their sanity!!! ha ha This image is beautiful and very artistic and suits the theme very well. Sorry for the delay in my comments, but am very busy these days with one thing or another, but still look in at my friends work and also have the occasional catch-up session. have a good week.
