Standing tall and proud and looking very smart, JJ.

Such a gorgeous species of crane. Beautiful low camera view of it standing tall and proud. Great setting, focus, composition, and subject. TFS JJ!
 
A great composition and a fine portrait of this elegant crane, JJ! Ours won't be back in Sweden till spring but we're hoping some nest in the vicinity of our house.
 
I saw them in the sky during migration periods but never on the ground. A wonderful picture of this beautiful crane. Not even shy? You are a lucky guy.

Unfortunately, they're actually very shy; I took the photo from the car, at a certain distance. But they sure are magnificent birds.
