 This is an up close capture of a Sarus Crane. Standing 6ft tall with a wingspan of 8ft, it was very difficult to capture a full body shot of this impressive bird through the fence it was behind. So i focused my attention on its highly detailed and expressive face. This is only my 3rd entry ever, so please let me know what you think/what i could improve on. thank you!

Tom - I compleatly agree with you. But i couldn't edit any of the contrast due to the minimal editing rule...

Cool! A little contrast here would help to bring out the colors...

sorry, but it would have to be a slow news day to put this on the cover of a mag or the front page of a newspaper...
