Beautiful detail and texture of the feathers. Nice pose ready for your capture. I have never seen a crane like this one. Love the quote too.

Beautiful! Love the detail in the feathers... Just a thought: Have you tried changing the background, cropping it to make the bird stand out more?

@Sandrine: No, I haven't - I can see that it can work, will try it, thanks!
